Will these rims fit my 97 LS?
They are 18x8 with a 5 x 114.3 bolt pattern and a +32 offset. Will they fit without rolling my fenders? Do people usually get the same size all around? I ask because I think I remember seeing a set for sale with 18x9.5 on the back with a +35 offset.

generally speaking yes they will fit with no fender modding at stock height. keep in mind fitting has other factors involved too such as tire size and if you will be lowering the car.
most people get the same size all around, like stock. you can run staggered sizing but you will not be able to rotate the wheels/tires front to back.

I don't plan on lowering it, I drive it in the winter and don't wanna get stuck. As far as tire size goes, I don't know a whole lot about that either so I guess I wouldn't really be too picky on tire size.

here is a good site i use for calculating tire sizes.

use your stock tire size and calculate the least amount of error (ideally <2%) to your new tire size. this keeps the speedometer accurate.
