the lug pattern will fit but you might have to use a spacer if you want them to sit flush

Best way to know is to measure from where you are now

Stock wheel sizes are in the FAQ sticky

Not trying to be mean... but I don't want you mad at me if it doesn't turn out exactly how you want it.

its gonna look fugly unless you get at least 20 mm spacers. Otherwise, I'd just pass on them...

Hell, I don't even think 17x8 +39 will clear coilovers... I could be wrong tho.. but if they do, the suspension clearance will be very very small

well i would of passed on them but my dumbass already bought them. And adrian thanks on the info with the 20mm spacers...and i've researching on other sites, and people say that they will fit. So im gonna go ahead and do the 5 lug conversion and see if they fit. If they dont fit i'll just sell them and buy myself someother wheels!
