You still need to get staggered wheels, the rear wheels need to be bigger than the front. But yes you will need to get different lug nuts, the OEM lugs will not support aftermarket rims. If you take it to a shop they usually have on site.

​​​​​​Why do I have to stagger? The stock rims that are on it are all 17

He's referring to the width.

Stock wheels are same diameter, however the back wheels are wider than the front.

Wheel specs are here

Not sure of widest you can go, I'm thinking as long as you don't go wider than 10 inches in the rear you should be okay.

Haven't had a chance to mount them. Been over a month. Vendor has been shipping me damages wheels so I've been going back and fourth with them. FYI, don't buy your wheels from JEGS.

Do you have to stagger the rims if you have the stock 17" rims?

Im not sure if what i have are stock or not but i have a square set of 17s. Which is 17×7. During the winter ill run 225/45r17 and during the summer i do 245/45ZR17 inthe rear. So its your choice to stagger the tires. Look on the inside of the rim for width.

Okay thanks, I'm looking at buying rims and I just want to match the widths of the stock and aftermarket rims. Does anyone know if I have to match widths exactly?

Yes but you have to be careful with offset. If you find a set you like post the exact specs on here and we'll help you figure it out
