yes it is 5X114.3. you should do the 9 inch wide rim in the front. This isnt a camaro. The reverse stagger helps with the understeer from factory. Or just go 17X9 all around.

I see, so as far as 9" wide wheels they fit no problem...
I'm also interested in some 18x8.5 and 18x9.5......will a 9.5"fit the back??????
I need the offset numbers......for both....

Maybe you didnt understand?

You dont need 2 different widths. The set of 4 should all be the same.

Search - there is a mega thread with what wheels fit and whatnot...

Then you dont car about how this car drives.

If you want to stagger get a 350z or Camaro or Mustang (hint RWD platforms).

You will get more help if you actually are doing something correctly. When you do something that does not help or makes more problems (in this case - causes more understeer for the sake of looks) then people will be less apt to help you.
