stock 99+ bolt is 5x115mm but 5x114.3 will work also, but most time you will need hub rings.. and offset I believe 35mm.. not sure on that..

he got the rims yesterday and installed, but the rear sounds like metal to metal griding...only when braking and stop and go and few more, and lasts for a second.
its +45 offset tire size is 225/45/17
need help fast. thanks in advance

^ I had the same thing happen to me, and I ordered my wheels offline... I fixed the problem with $10... You need to buy a wheel spacer... You only need to buy it for the rims that make the noise... I'm sure u can pick it up and any local tire/rim shop...

BTW nice rims

Shoulda checked that offset before buying, +45 is too high.

I had the +42's and seemed really close to suspension to me so that would be way too close for me
