I really like those. I've also been wondering what they would look like on a 5th gen.

They'll look real nice. Do you need to use wheel spacers? What is the backspacing?

Heres the best I can do right now. It doesn't look quite right at this time do to the rear of the car being 3 feet in the air on jack stands for the rear end swap. But, you get the general idea of how it's going to look. The tires are Defender 245/50/ZR16.

The back spacing on these wheels is 4.5", theres plenty of clearance.

There's only one small modification that needs to be made for the wheels to fit. The center hole for the hub needs to be enlarged just a bit to fit onto the rotor. A drill, a metal shaving bit (the same type of bit for porting heads), and 2 minutes, problem sloved 8)
