4th gen Backspacing?

Is the wheel backsapcing the same for our cars and 4th gen cars? I can get some 18"s and i was just wondering if i'd have to buy spacers?

Thanks
Matt

They have quite a bit more backspacing.

The rear 3rd gen 16" wheels have about +16mm offset.

You will need spacers......

Send the specs of the new wheels and the specs of the stock ones to somebody like www.skulte.com and they can make you a custom set to fit........
