    Check the offset. Otherwise, I believe all FTOs have the 114.3x5 PCD, so the wheels should bolt straight on.

    Yep they should fit fine. The rolling radius of the tyres might be too small though, what width and offset are the wheels, and what size are the tyres?
    If I'm replying to your thread and helping you out, it is because I like you and want to help out your VR-4 ownership. No other reason

    I've seen Evo wheels on an FTO, so the potential is there.

    I'm sure I sold my old BBS VR4 wheels to a guy with an FTO so it's pretty likely. AS mentioned already just check the offset will work

    Indeed, there is an FTO in Auckland with EVO 7 wheels on it and they look brilliant.
