Do you have 5AT or 6MT... if you have 6MT then you need to make sure the offset is enough to clear the calipers.... look here https://acurazine.com/forums/showthread.php?t=109959 I think you can find the info there...

The factory rims on your ride are 17x8 but you can go with an 8.5 too... for instance I am running 19x8.5 and they look fine... When you go above that they seem to stick out a little bit from under the fender

What is the offset on our factory rims?
So from what I understand for now, is that I need to look for 17 x8 or 8.5 rims ....
Offset should be.....?

My rims are a +42 offset and they fit on my 6MT... I would use that as your guide....
