Will they fit..?

I've finally begun the process of fixing up my pearlie and upgrading a few things in the process. Now I'm wondering if I should get new wheels to go with my new breaks, roters, break lines, and tires. I really like these wheels I saw a while ago but I'm a bit unsure if they fit. They are Motegi FF7's with a gunmetal finish, 7 spokes and are only 124 each. Could anybody tell me what they think of them or if they'll even work on my car? Here's the link:

I guess if these wheels won't work I'll head down the street and buy the tires and foraged wheels from OT. Think those would look nice on a pearlie?

Hi Freeman

Nice wheels man. I'm only new here but my understanding is that you need a bolt pattern of 5x114.3.

Cheers from Oz

Hey thanks for the feedback. Guess that teaches me to listen to the Sears tire guys.. Oh well looks like it's the foraged wheels for me. They are really great wheels but I kinda wanted the FF7's more.

They fit 5x100 and 5x4.5. 4.5 inches is the same as 114.5mm. So the bolt pattern fits but the offset of +42-45mm may not cut it. Stock is +55mm I believe.

Yeah I was told that they would work just fine but if not I'll just go for the other ones. There is no way to modify them to get them to work or would it just not even be worth it?
