Can anyone tell me if Stock FD wheels will fit on an FC?

they will - but the wheels catch the springs ( i think ) - so if you are running full coilover - you should be ok ( they have a thinner spring )

just do a quick search matey - im sure its been covered on here before :D

As Grinder says, I believe the rears will fit with stock shocks n springs but it\'s the fronts that will catch.

So I should be ok as I have coilovers on al 4 corners. If its just the wheel that catches on the stock spring anyway this could be sorted with a spacer then, right?

Im just thinking that when it comes to buying a new set of tires I might just buy a set of FD wheels instead. Plus the TII wheels are a bitch to keep clean.

I suppose you could do that.  What affect it would have on handling if any?

What cleaning them? I don\'t know really!

 No i\'m not sure really. Should make it sit better in the corners, but i\'d have to space out the rears also to keep it similar to stock. At least I think thats how it would be.

my white Desmond Regamasters came off an FD, I\'m running Konis shocks with Pi springs and I need 8mm spacers at the front, rears are fine

How did that effect the handling Mark? 8mm seems like a lot.

erm well I\'ve just changed the tyres and now it handles fine, the bald, old, hard Jap tyres were terrible! It does mean I\'ll need to roll the arches if I want to drop the front end without the tyres fouling the arches!
