would these fit a 1500 fwd and if so any idea where i could get a set?

ebay generally has a few knocking around, i am sure an add on here would produce results. You would also need a set of new wheel nuts, the ones for the Sprint alloys are different.

I am not sure that you can bolt them straight on, I think the front offset on the 1500fwd is different to a dolly, so it might not work. Others with more knowledge will be along to correct me soon, hopefully.

The rwd wheels ofsett is generally around 25 and fwd around 50. I don't know the exact fwd ofsett but looking at those particularly wheels they could even be more.

Fitting rwd wheels to a 1300/1500 will cause a lot of extra strain on front wheel bearings and joints. It also will affect the handling negative.

There are a few who have fitted these wheels. When you are going to use your car 1000 mile a year it's a different story when used as a daily driver. Then I would not recommend fitting wheels with such a different ofsett.

Sprint wheels have an offset of ET35.
