Offsets that will fit: 45mm (stock-ish) to 30mm (flush with sides of wheel wells). The offset is how far out the wheels comes, and determines if the wheel will fit in the wheel wells and clear the brake calipers.

Bolt patterns that will fit: 5x114 (and no others)

I suggest you check out the wheels&tires forums, and read the STICKIES up at the top of them for explanations of bolt pattern, offset, etc...

Here ya go:

As see bellow in the diagram a FWD wheel is mounted at the outside of the wheel(Flush), where as a RWD wheel is mounted in the center or all the way in, thus making the wheels stick out a bit.
And anything other than 5x114 will not fit.

you cannot grind the hub down. The solution is to get 15mm spacers for the rear wheels to even it out. The only way you can bring the front wheel "in" would be to get wheels with a higher + offset (50, perhaps)...but then you may not clear the brake caliper.

I think you mean "staggered" not "offset"

They will work fine on a FWD car, but you won't be able to rotate them, that's all....

i really wanted to get staggered Hiros for my car, since the rears would look really badass, but then obviously i would never be able to rotate tires, which kinda sucks, and also anyone in the know would ask why i did that to a front wheel drive car.

i'd just get some spacers for the rears... small ones to compensate for the fact that the rears stick in a little bit more than the fronts.
