Found a set and I'm wondering if they'll fit my whip?
Bolt pattern is 5x112
Staggered 20"....8.5" front, 10" rear
Not sure of the offset though
Ours is 5x113 right? I wanted 22's but I'll roll with these if they'll work for me

In addtion to bolt pattern, offset, and backspacing ... Pay ATTENTION to the center bore (hub hole) spec'. Panther (which includes the Marauder) wheel mounting is hub centric and rely on the hub to center (and support) the rim rather than the studs/lugnuts.

You can put staggered. You can put 22's or 24's without cutting or lifting. Just be sure to first get the right bolt pattern (5X114.3). Then look for rims with a High Positive Offset, somewhere from +35 to +45 and you should be fine.
