interested in a set of wheel but need to know if they'll fit!

I found a set of 5 spoke JDM wheels and I might get my parents to buy them for me as an early christmas present but I need to figure out if they'll fit first, before anyone makes any harsh comments or gives me crap I just want to figure this out.

The rims have a 5x114.3 Bolt Pattern and I heard they'll bolt on but may be a tight squeze, also they have a +45mm offset, will they stick out too much?? I know 4th gens have like a -33mm offset and need spacers so I'm hoping the positive offset will help prevent that.

Please let me know.

Unless you've got a really big drill bit.

Our bolt pattern is 5x~120 If I remember correctly.

If it's got a 45mm offset, you'll probably need 2" thick adapters (for 8-9" wide rims). With the adapters, it's simple enough to machine the 5 on 4.5" (5 on 114.3") bolt pattern for the wheel side studs. We do adapters like these pretty often.
