Biggest thing you need to worry about is the PCD (PITCH CIRCLE DIAMETER) which is the stud pattern, in your case 4 X 100 which is 4 studs spaced at 100mm. The offset you want is something like 38-45 then there is centre bore which I don't know off hand. offset and centre bore can usually be altered with spacers and spigots! I am betting a penny to a pound you will get a fair bit of rubbing on 17's especially if the tyres are 205+

lowered40mm no rubbing at back slight rub on full full lock mine on 205 40 17s

andrewgh · Mar 17th, 2007, 19:22

so wheels with 100 stud diameter should fit ok?

Mark480 · Mar 17th, 2007, 19:49

No.

The wheels have to have 4 studs spaced at 100mm. The offset has to be correct or less than correct so it can be corrected with spacer. The centre bore has to be correct or too large so it can be corrected with spigots (?)

As the_hoff has confirmed you are in for rubbing!
