It's more about the wheel offset tbh. et49 is ideal, which means 99% of aftermarket wheels are no use to you. Hence why many owners on here use GM alloys from calibras, Cavaliers & Astras etc.

your make of wheels are?

if the offset is pretty much et49, they'll be fine

The fronts will be fine its more the rears, aslong as the rears will sit in without rubbing the inner arch they will be fine
