you need to find the correct offset for your car before you can determain if the rims will fit.

As a general rule, RWD rims do NOT fit FWD because of the numerically lower offset.

The 18 inch Enkies on my 06 started out on a 2000 maxima, went to a 97 Toyota tacoma, then to my civic. 18x8 +42 offset....
Look at a new Mustang....HUGE offset (like a FWD) but we all know the stang is RWD. You need to know ALL of the dimentions of the new wheel to determin if they will fit. It also helps to know the OE wheel specs.
