The wheels on your car are what is known as having a PCD(pitch circle
diameter)
which is the distance between the bolt hole centers, of 4 X 108 (4 meaning
the # of
bolts) with an offset of about 45mm I think, the wheels off a volvo,saab
and some fords (depending on offset)
the wheels on the TQ and 2wd Turbos are 5 X 112 which are the same as
Mercedes
Benz

hope this is of help
