Well it looks like maybe they have a 5x100 and a 5x112 version
And the 5x100 is ET25. But thats just a guess.
If that is the ET then you'd be sticking out further than stock but less than meem approved.
Don't think you'd have any rubbing issues but I'm no expert. You could probably do a 5mm up front and 10mm in the rear to get pretty good.
Or I may be crazy and not know what I'm talking about. Not real sure right now but I think I'm right.

so it's 8.5" wheel with offset ET25?
8.5" wheel should fit. The Meem Approved Offset(tm) for an 8" wheel is ET17 front and ET12 rear (correct me if I'm wrong):
8ET17 = 84.6mm from face of hub to edge of wheel
8ET12 = 89.6mm from face of hub to edge of wheel
Your 8.5" wheel with 25mm offset:
8.5ET25 = 82.95mm from face of hub to wheel edge
The front is just about right. The MAO(tm) offset will poke out by 1.3mm more. You will need to run an 5mm spacer on the rear to get close to MAO(tm) spec:
8.5ET20 = 87.95mm from face of hub to wheel edge
MAO(tm) rear spec will poke out by 1.6mm more.
8ET17 = 84.6mm from face of hub to edge of wheel
8ET12 = 89.6mm from face of hub to edge of wheel

what is BBK? (Sorry, I'm not a wheel expert) thanks for your help by the way (Everyone else too!)
and out of curiosity, what does the ET in the offset number mean?

yes 5x100 no matter what size/offset wheel...
8.5ET25 front
8.5ET25 rear w/5mm spacer = 8.5ET20
Looks about right.
If you need to clear big calipers up front then get the ET40 wheel:
8.5ET40 w/15mm spacer = 8.5ET25
Hope that all makes sense.
8.5ET25 rear w/5mm spacer = 8.5ET20
Looks about right.
