need some sage like advice ASAP

Found a good local deal on some Motegi MR7's. Need to know if these would work. The seller listed them as 4x100's from searching the net I found that these have a +38mm offset and a center bore of 2.86 inches (which is i think about 70 mm). Would these work for me? running 205/45/17 tires.

Thanks of think input need to seal the deal by end of the week!

only problem is the centerbore. youll just need some hubcentric rings.

TireRack should have them. 56.1mm

late model 06's and 07+ also have 14mm lug bolts... some (not many) aftermarket wheels dont have holes large enough to accomodate them. all other first gen minis are 12mm lugs. Usually not an issue, but thats something I dont know about the Motegis

some notes i saw on google quickly state that you must use smaller tuner style lug nuts.... might be a bad thing. I think youd have to do a 12mm stud conversion with the smaller nuts.... somebody else will have to verify that.

edit: yup tuner style nuts...not sure if they make them in bolts or not?
