I have an FR-S, and I was considering putting the wheels from it on my daughter's xD. The FR-S has 5x100 bolt pattern with a 56.1 center bore, and the xD has the same with a 54.1 center bore. I know I can get hubcentric center rings to fill the gap in the center bore, but there is another problem. The wheels from the FR-S have a nice scion center cap that gets knocked out of the wheel on the front wheel positions of the xD due to the threaded portion of the axle shaft protruding through the center of the wheel. How can I make these wheels work on her car? We have been looking for wheels for her for awhile, her OE tires are finally nearing the end of their useful life, and she absolutely loves the look of these wheels on her car. As I will be buying new wheels soon, why not let her have my wheels? If I get spacers, I will also have to change wheel studs. Not sure about spacers and the whole hub centering part of the equation. Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated.

I certainly will be interested to know how this went for you. I have both 2013 FR-S and a 2012 xD and was wondering about doing exactly that when i get new wheels and tires for the FR-S next year.

I put 15mm bolt on wheel spacers, and my daughter is running the wheels on the car now. It looks great, and I couldn't be more pleased. The wheels will drag on the front brake calipers without some sort of spacers. The FRS wheels have too much offset, and they are sucked in way too much to look good without substantial spacers. I think 20mm spacers would look better, but I think the tires would hit the inner fender if the spacers were that thick. I could be wrong.

I bought these:
I bought 54.1 to 56.1 hub centric rings too.
