You'll have to pay attention to the offset and depending on what you choose, you may need spacers

Make sure you also get new lug nuts with the wheels, the stock wheels use a different style nut.

Couple things to keep in mind >>

18s will give your car a 4x4/lifted look to it. Too much gap above the tire.

Bolt pattern is 5x100.

Other than that, happy shopping!
