Just go to tirerack.com and shop for wheels and compare the results. If i had to guess the bolt pattern would match but that is about it.

You will need some bolts from
OTISincla.

but the offsets will work. You are talking about the wheels from a sport e350 correct? The 5 spokes

Check your hub size on the original equipment. If the hub size is larger on the late model wheels you'll need spacers so they line up.
