oh ok thanks heaps for that, will do.

will they know straight up if they'll fit, or will i have to get there and try them.
will they let me try them before i commit to buying?

sorry kinda new to this whole thing

They won't know if the wheels will fit.
They will most likely tell you that they will in order to get the sale.

Just get the offset and put it into the offset calculator online and find out the extra space required.
Measure the gaps between the wheel face and the guard and the wheel backing and the strut tower and see if the gap is big enough for the new wheel.

You could always ask if they will let you try the wheels on the car to see if they fit before you buy.

Let us know how you go.

I would be careful with those wheels from tempe. Make sure you buy a decent tyre, no linlong, wanli, nankang crap as you will buckle your wheel before you know it and require a replacement as it wont be able to be repaired. Not to mention blowing out a tyre or causing other damage to the car...

Not my choice of wheels.. but as said, find offset. You'll notice the weight tho..

offset should be 38.

Tempe do fit proper branded tyres - you just have to ask.

just got an email back from them:

"They are not made in 5x112, you will need to look at a wheel that has a cap covering the wheel nuts."

hmm, damn i hate incorrect websites, back to the drawing board i guess
