sir the bolt pattern on your car is 5x114.3, not 5x100, so there is no way in hell the wheels will fit
good luck

8" wide rim with a +40mm offset is just asking for super rub. If you don't mind having your wheels sticking out like NASCAR and rub every ditch and turn, then it might work for you. I would strongly suggest getting something in 18x7.5 with at the very least +45mm offset, higher would be even better because with +45, you might still need to cut the tab.

If you like chrome rims, then spend a little more for the real and good stuff like Lowenhart. Cutting corners will just get you waste more money, not save.

Not everyone can afford expensive rims but what i hate is when guys buy wheels that are totally the wrong fit because they are cheap when everywhere says they won't fit?? Don't waste what little money you have.

That's funny, your tires would probably cost more than your rims.
