You should really do some researching. If it is the same as 04/05 bolt pattern, yes its 5x100. Offset can be around 48mm, and hub bore is 56.1mm.

Check out the wheels on wheeldude.com, they have the specs for all their wheels, learn yourself!

this is the size for that wheel

Offset: 50mm
Bolt Pattern: 5-100
17x7.5

and this is whats on stock

17x7jj alloy, 5 lug, offset 55 (2.2)


so the wheel i want is .5 wider which makes up on the offset.

I'm gonna order 18's for my car soon... but frankly I'd like a little more offset than stock... like a half inch or so. They're too tucked-under right now. The wheels I've found that I like have a 50mm offset (18x8) so I'm wondering how that compares to stock... meaning, I know stock is 17x7 with a 55mm offset, but an 18x8 with a 50mm offset... my best guess is they'd probably split the difference assuming there's clearance, so it'd stick out 1/2 inch. I dunno though.
