Default Another wheel question

When buying aftermarket wheels, does that bolt pattern have to match that of the OEM wheels in order for it to fit the car?

So if the OEM wheel bolt pattern is 5/114.3, does the aftermarket wheel bolt pattern have to be that too?

THANKS!

i think it all depends on the look you want to go for, and the other mods you plan on doing. There is really no recommended offset or width to go with. I suggest you look through some of the other wheel threads and see which look you like and try to get the info on that. good luck!
