I believe so. I tried putting one wheel on today without the spacers (don't have'em yet) and it fit on np. It's just too snug and would never rotate inside the wheel well. It needs to be further out and the rim is too narrow.

The brakes didn't seem to be an issue thankfully.

The guy from the link I posted called me (customer service is apparently alive and well and living in California) and he told me to just get the center bore measurements from the OEM which I am in the process of doing now.

I'll keep this thread updated since winter tires/rims for this car have proven to be a real obstacle. I referenced this forum when swapping my stereo out since no one I went to in and around Toronto could be of any help so I figure this will be my 'giving back'.
