i'm not sure about the first one, it might be to wide. i have 17x7 vs 17x8 . the second one def. won't fit because of the lug pattern.

i think the first is too wide, 7.5 is the widest till you have to do extra stuff

Your right Dj. Mjs is right also. Both of those wont fit. Our bolt pattern is 5x100 like Pasgaines said. Always look for that.

yea, also, once you start narrowing down a search...watch out for the off-set... I believe on tire rack there, that "E.T." that is listed is the off-set...the top one said 35 and the bottom 45...I think those are off both ways... ideal with stock suspension would be between 38 and 40

..also, it's funny on the top one it says "less than 4 left"...lol!

that's great if you only 3 wheels for yer car!

Rule of thumb for our cars:

Don't go over 17" diameters. There are 18" sizes that can work like KARR's, but I would hesitate getting a set unless you are absolutely sure on tire and rim size like KARR was.

Don't go outside of a 35-40mm offset range. And don't go any wider than a 7" or 7.5" rim, and no wider than a 215 series tire with the appropriate offset.

The largest tire width that people usually put on our cars with stock suspension is a 205 series. You can go with 215's if you know all the specs, but if your rim offset is too low, you take the chance on your tires rubbing.

And yes, the bolt pattern is 5x100 like mentioned above... and btw, stay away from wheel spacers.

for 18's i think the biggest you can go is 18x7.5 for wheels and 215/35/18's for the tires.
