Find out the offset of the rims, then it’ll be easier to find out.

That's the front and the rear tire offsets ......

Hey- sorry, what I meant by offset is the distance of the center of the bolts to the backside plane of the wheel. It's often stamped on back of the wheel as "et30" or "et14". You may be able to google the wheels and find it.

The offset will determine how far in, or out, the wheels sit in the wheel well once attached. To low of an offset may rub a fender... too high may cause tire rub on your struts.
