thanks! EDIT: wow well after that bit of info i found one type that is nice. now the question is will it work? The best part is they are super cheap to! EDIT the link i posted has them in 5x8 but i just went out to check the rims and it looks like they are 5x7 on the car. no problems because they sell 5x7s now i just gotta figure out if they actually fit with the back spacing.

The 15x7 wheels will be a better fit. 15x8 may not. As long as the wheels are standard back spacing (centered -- 3.5" on 15x7 wheels) they will fit. They should be since the 15x8 are (well, 4.03" backspace is close enough to centered!). You could use a little more back spacing, but not much. All the old style American Racing wheels should be near centered. Bolt pattern on your car is 5x4.5" (5 lugs, 4.5" circle) -- same as Ford, Chrysler, and big Toyota. Many Ford factory wheels have a slightly smaller center hole and won't fit over the AMC (or most Chrysler) hubs. Most aftermarket wheels are made to fit all.
