Exactly. You need a wheel that is 5x4.5 (5x114.3) Lug. Otherwise they would fit. That same wheel is made with the proper lug for our car. As far as the rubbing issue brought up by drkazndragon, it is sorta kinda a non-issue. Those are a +45 offset which is well within the realm of reason for our car. The lowest offset to consider is +42 but in general the closer to +55 or +60 the better. It can get complicated and dicey, but much of it also has to do with tire width and even tread desing. For example, a 18x7.5 offset +42 wont rub with a 215/45 series tire but will rub with a 225/40 or 225/45. Either way, a process called "rolling your fenders" alleviates rubbing in most situations as long as you haven't deviated too far from "normal" parameters.
