Default Does this wheel fit?
Has anyone bought this wheel on EBay?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/17x8-Vision-...fa4ab3&vxp=mtr

It's 4.5" backspacing 0 offset. I had posted a different wheel earlier and have now edited this post to this wheel.

Do you guys think it will fit?

Thanks in advance for any help

No! The backspace is too deep. Ideal would be 4" same as the factory.

Which size wheel do you like best? If you choose the larger wheel you will need wheel adapters. It is best to buy wheels with the same bs as factory to avoid fitment issues.

you need -12mm

+19mm is around 5 1/4"!!!

0mm is 4.5''
