The fronts should fit fine. The rears if they are the factory 65 mm offset will need a spacer, and most likely some BFH. 1/4" is the thickest spacer for stock lugs. with upgraded lugs can go up to 1" and the wheels should still fit.

I guess I'm wondering now since I know others have either these wheels or similar on their cars how they did it, what did they need? what didn't they need?
