The key thing to make sure is to keep your overall wheel/rim diameter the same as factory, unless you’re planning on recalibrating your speedo, and redoing your alignment, etc. If you change the width any more than about .5", you’ll probably want to get the alignment checked anyway. [http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Wheel\_Fitment\_Guide.cfm](http://www.discountedwheelwarehouse.com/Wheel_Fitment_Guide.cfm) That page has a little diagram that shows what the numbers mean, and how the numbers change. ---
