Seeing that this is your first post, welcome to Zilvia! <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/hehe.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':hehe:'> My friend is going to put on the FD's pretty soon so I'll tell you after he is done.

I don't think you need spacers for the FD rims - they're 16" and should fit with some space around Z brakes. The FD has pretty decently sized brakes as well, I can't imagine them not fitting.
On the other hand, running 15" rims with the z brakes might require spacers (or with some rims, may just not fit)

Ok. &nbsp;My friend just did it. &nbsp;Put the FD rims on w/o spacers first. &nbsp;Goes on, but not a lot of room left. We then decided to put the spacers on = more room to play with. &nbsp;It's going to look like we are going to need longer bolts for the hub though.
