    5 lug, 4 1/2" bolt circle. Usually, 7" wide on front and 8" wide on back is the max without problems. Backspacing should be 4 1/4" or less. There are exceptions but this is a good guide for 14 or 15" wheels.

    Mavaholic pretty well sums it up. Like he said, there are other options out there, but they all require tricky measurements, backspacing, or major modifications. Your best bet is to take his advice on this one. Good Luck!! Preston
