Seems like a pattern	5x114 is your bolt pattern. offset is something I don't know offhand because they vary. it would be best to ask the company you are buying them from which vehicles they fit on

I had a 90 240sx and i put 17s on it and the profile on the tires were so low when the roads were wet i would drift turns without trying to. Id say pick up a pair of 16s with meaty tires you wont regret it.

The reason you were "drifting" around the turns was most likley due to you running dry weather tires on a RWD.
