The bolt pattern is 5 bolts, and I think by "backspace" he probably means wheel offset, ie, where the actual face of the wheel sits relative to the width of the rim (so you can fit the brake calipers and all that fun stuff behind the wheel.)

Not really sure though...

Bolt pattern is 5x4.5 backspacing depends on what width wheel you plan on using Anywhere from 34mm to 45mm I think if memory serves me correctly.

No it will not. As posted you need 5x4.5 for the bolt pattern. Some 10 inch wheels will fit and some wont it depends on the offset and the size. A 10 inch wide 17 inch wheel will not fit without modifications for clearance, an 18 or higher will fit with the correct offset.

Yes 5X4&1/2 and the stock 17's OFFSET is 45mm. When comparing new wheels to stock worry about OFFSET not backspacing.

Yes, but they will stick out about 1&3/8" more than stock.
