To be absolutely certain, you should:
* Check your owner's manual: This will definitively state the bolt pattern for your specific vehicle.
* Look at the wheels themselves: The bolt pattern is usually stamped on the wheel.

Don't rely solely on online information; always verify the bolt pattern to ensure a safe and proper fit for your wheels.
