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
 
do you have a pic of the wheels? interested to see what they look like on your marauder

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.

And here's some tools for you for your next "will these fit" ...
  • Vehicle Bolt Pattern Guide ««« -click- Enter year, make, and model. *Use this to determine the "will these fit" spec's.
    .
  • Tire Size Calculator <<<<< -click-
    Remember ... If you change the diameter you will need to do compensation measures for the speedometer. *Depending upon the year of the vehicle, this would mean a speedo' gear change -or- a PCM flash.
    .
  • TireRack.com » Search for Tires by Size <<<<< -click- Enter the tire size information.
    Review the search results » Additional Tire Information » Specs » Rim Width Range
    *Remember ... The sidewalls may be wider than the rims.
    .
  • measure your wheel wells. i.e. frontspacing, backspacing, width, etc.
Do your homework. Nobody said it was going to be easy.

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.

Damn I was off on the bolt pattern too...ah well, learned a couple new things....this is a part of me doing my homework tho so good lookin on the info...Found out the offset and he said it was +38 if im not mistaken (it's in my phone) so I wouldn't have been able to scoop them up anyway...
