If it's not 5x108 it won't bolt up.

The current catalog does not list any wheels of said type, but those could just be out of date.

If they are 5x108 they should fit with the following provisos:

Suspension clearance: Package 2 is 9 mm (0.4'') closer to suspension/brakes components. Acceptable for most cars.
Fenders clearance: Package 2 will stick out 21 mm (0.8'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.
Wheelwells clearance: Will fill out the wheelwell by extra 18 mm. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider lower profiles or smaller rims.
SPEEDOMETER: When speedometer reads 60mph (96.6km/h) actual speed will be 63.3mph (101.9km/h): 5.5% faster.
