Not sure about those wheels. There are not many wheels that fit these cars. Just because the backspace is right does mot mean they will clear the brakes. I know they need a medium pad height. Weld RTS , Racestars and Bogarts fit. Billet Specialties make rear wheels that fit but not front wheels without a spacer. These are for 15" wheels. I would be careful before you spend the money.
