You're best bet is to go with a (used?) oem set of 20" wheels. However, if you must go aftermarket, stick to the width and offset/ET as best as possible.

Lower offset/ET = further away from the car. Higher offset = tucked under the car more.

Definitely dont go with a higher offset..... unless you are going with a wider wheel. You don't want to negatively affect the stability of the car. You can vary up the offset a bit... no big deal. You MUST be sure the hub bore matches, and of course, the lug pattern.

Yes, you can buy spacers. I wouldn't recommend anything over 20mm.

Yes, you will need extended lug bolts.

DO NOT CHEAP OUT ON CHINESE GARBAGE spacers or lugs. Buy the best you can (H&R). That is the LAST place on the car you want Chinese junk.

Usually the oem lug bolts are a bit wide, and may scratch your aftermarket rims. It depends on the rims.

TPM sensors.... are cheap. Just get an oem set on Ebay. Easy, no effort required.
