Wondering if my STi wheels whould fit the FD?

I have some 17x8.5 Gram Lights 57s's on the STi and just had a thought that maybe they would fit the FD. They are +48 offset all around I think, so I would think they should fit. This would be great info as I could use the same set of Auto-X tires on both cars, hehe.
