You'll need wheel spacers if you're looking for anything other than Panasport or J-spec rims. The bolt pattern on our car originally is 114.3X4, with a 0 offset. Nowadays most companies make their rims in positive offset so they won't clear the caliper. I believe it's like +42 or +36mm are the common ones, but don't quote me on those.

lifegrddude is right... the common wheel spacing is from 36mm to 42mm you can get the wheel spacers from modern-motorsports.com.. theres bee a lot said about using wheel spacers on cars.. some good some bad.. but remember this.. the PORSCHE 911 turbos have been using them for years... and theyve proven they work...
