edit: i think i have it figured out. +18 offset 5.96 backspace will that fit?
Our bolt pattern is 6 on 5.5" or 6 on 139.7 mm. So it's the only one with a chance of fitting. It will stick in towards your steering knuckle an extra half an inch compared to the stock 18s, (could be an issue, check to see how much clearance you have now with a scrap of wood and measure). Since they are 9.5" wide and you'd stick in an extra 1/2", that means they would stick out 1" more, (plus any additional because of a wider tire). You might need to do the pinch weld mod for rubbing when you turn the steering wheel to full lock.

What tires are you planning for?
