Yeah, those should fit fine. Though your speedo will be off by about 6% or so.

6% difference is huge... and the 35mm offset is OK, but not great either. You already know the bolt pattern but what is the hub diameter on those wheels? If it turns out to be smaller than stock (65.1mm) you're outta luck.

6% isnt that bad...the speedo would read 63.6 when he's really going 60.

I'm guessing these are narrower than the stock wheels since they are only 16" wheels, probably 6.5" wide, so the offset shouldn't cause any problems.

But ya he is right about the hub diameter. If it is larger you will need to get hub rings.
