You have to figure out what the offset is, offset is the distance from dead center of the rim to the where mounts to the rotor.
So if it is an 45+ or ET 45 that is about 1.83 inches from dead center of the rim.
Basically the 45+ or Et45 is 45 mm, if you divide that about 24.5 it gives you the total in inches. So if you want to see if any rim fits figure out the width of the rim say it is 7.0" measure from the center of the rim to the back of the hub if the distance matches your factory rim it will fit.
I believe the stock 18's are +50 or 2"

center bore size doesnt matter. offset is what is important. just from experance the front wheel drive rims dont fit on RWD due to them hitting the calipers. however you can do whatever you want with some wheel spacers. but that is just my own .02 cents.
