Those specific wheels in the ebay - no because the bolt pattern is for a BMW.

Avant Garde 310 wheels in general - yes if purchased in the correct bolt pattern and offsets.

Ok, thanks I see. Was just trying to look it up and we need a 5x114.3 correct? According to AM. New to all this wheel stuff. Thank you though.

Yes - you will need 5x114.3 for a bolt pattern. Centerbore is 70.6 but hub rings can be used if the wheel is not hub centric.

Offsets generally speaking are in the range of +40 - +45 with a 9.5 inch wheel.

I say generally depending on how aggressive you want the wheels to stick out. The offset number seems counter intuitive in that the larger the offset the more the wheel is tucked in. So a wheel with a +33 offset will stick out farther than a +45 offset.

RTR and Alcoa Supersnake are two examples of wheels that have very aggressive offsets.

Some people like that, some don't.

Generally speaking without modifications the widest tire you can run in the front is a 275 and a 305 in the rear. A 10 inch wheel in the front is iffy and most go with either 9 or 9.5. Many run anywhere from a 9.5 to 11 in the rear.

There are exceptions to everything I listed above so check with somebody that knows their stuff before purchasing any wheels. I am not an expert by any means.

Good Luck.
