offset matters too man, you gotta be sure its around the right number or you could have serious issues, and you gotta make sure the lug pattern is the same but mi sure you knew that

You will need 18x9 with a bolt pattern of 5x112 and an offset of somewhere around 35-38 is going to be best and your gunna need to run 225 or 235 to keep from rubbing
