Buying wheels off eBay
So I was looking to buy a set of wheels off ebay. I came across a few designs that were ideal in my eyes all of them being 18x9 and one pair that had 18.8.75Fronts and 18x9.75rear (JNC 019).
Now while looking up compatibility for my car with their spreadhseets, None of them said they would fit my 05 TL Base. So I called the head office and the guy on the phone confused the hell out of me. He said he had the rims in stock but this setup would only work on a RWD car?
Now PLEASE enlighten and correct me cause I thought it didnt matter what kind of drivetrain the vehicle has as long as the bolt patter and hub size were the same?

5x114.3 is the bolt size for our cars. Wider wheels in the rear is a staggered setup, which is more suited for RWD cars. However, a staggered setup still works on our cars or any other FWD cars. Take a look in the photo gallery section; a lot of members run similar setups.

You will need Hub Adapters. Our cars are 64.1 and those rims are 73.1 It's only like $15 for 4 of them. Bolt pattern is 5x114.3 which is fine. +20 offset should clear brembos if you have them.
Depending on your drop will depend on if fender work will need to be done.
