OEM wheels are 18" x 8" with a +50mm offset and a 5 x 114.3mm bolt pattern
Hub center Bore should be = 67.1mm
7.5 to 8.5" width will work with OEM tires
40mm to 50 mm offset will work.
Bolt pattern must match
Bore can be larger if you get hub centric rings
BTW, you need to use search!

Offset, bolt pattern and tire size are wrong.
Search on Ebay if you want something cheap that will fit.

The wheels from craigslist will probably work. I'm not sure why darkbrew says they are the wrong bolt pattern, but the ad I looked at said 5x114. The ad doesn't say how wide the rims are. The 35 offset is a bit aggressive, but if they are only 7.5 or 8 wide then you shouldn't have a problem. If they are 8.5 you may have to roll the fenders, but I'm not sure... 8.5 might work fine too.

Bolt pattern listed is 5 x 114 not 5 x 114.3 so you'd have to check. It's probably 114.3mm
The tires are 40 series instead of 45 so the speedo would be off by quite a lot.

He said he'd be putting his stock tires on, so the aspect ratio shouldn't be a problem. Doing a quick search of all available bolt patterns reveals: 5 x 100, 5 x 107.95, 5 x 114.3, 5 x 115, 5 x 120, 5 x 120.65, 5 x 130. I'd assume he meant 114.3, but I'd probably email him and verify that and get the width.
