Thanks.

Do you know what the bolt spacing is?

I have a set of aftermarket rims that I'd like to try.

Their 5 on 4.5" Bolt pattern. 16"x8" with a 5.75" backspace.

The '97 and later rims have a 5 X 135mm bolt pattern. Your aftermarket rims will not work.

Simple Question.

Check the sticker in your driver's side doorjamb. It should state that your wheels are 16" X 7" not 16 X 7 1/2".
