99 Spec Rims on FC

I've tried to search, but haven't found what I'm looking for.

Just wondering if anyone has put these rims on a FC before and if there are pictures.

I know for stock FD rims you need spacers to fit them.
I'm guessing that for 99 jspec rims will fit with spacers as well, but I'm wondering how they'll look.

I'm working on getting my TII running and have a set of Jspec rims laying around.
If they'll fit and look good, I'll keep them.
Otherwise, I'm thinking about selling them.

Anyone got pictures of these rims on a FC?
TIA!

I almost bought a set for my FC. They look very nice IMO. Here is the only pic I could find at the moment, its forum member Sunshine's car. Yes you need spacers as well, he was using 25mm H&R spacers.

wow, that confirms it, it IS nice.
My FC will be painted white as well (its a S4 Turbo II though). Guess I need to start looking for them spacers

Thanks Rxmfn7!

Are there any other pictures available?
I want to see if the rims stick out past the fenders.

if you are using 25mm spacer areu still using the stock lugs casue there is not much stud left to thread lug nut on the tires will fall off you need at least a min mum of 6 turns for the nut to hold on the tire on and withstand all design stress.

Spacers that big are usually hubcentric, meaning the spacer bolts onto the existing studs, and then has new studs of its own for the wheel to go on.

thats a damn clean look, agressive, yet stock looking. I like that look, if i see the picture without tilting my head i might change my mind.

He sent me a bunch of picturs at one time,but I deleted them and that is the only one I could find on the forum. Yes dDub is correct about the spacers. The bolt onto your original lugs, and then they have their own studs coming out that the wheel bolts to.

I don't like them...the spokes are too wide and curvy for the FC whose fenders/quarter panels have an angular look to them. I prefer the standard FD wheels, they are a great match for the FC.
