It might be hard to find a tire to fit that rim.

JimmyC - I was going to ask you to put a $1 in the tip jar since this is a common question but I tried to do a search and didn't come up with much of a hit on 'turbo twist'. The answer is no, they don't have the proper offset. Offset is a term you'll need to become familiar with if you're planning to change the wheel size on your car. Your current wheels have a number on each side of the valve stem. One is the wheel width and the 2nd is the offset. You'll need your current #s so you can figure out how the new wheels will work on your car. Get the width & offset of the new wheels and plug all the info into the calculator here:

Then when you know how much further in and out the new wheels will be, go measure your car for obstructions. Chances are an 11" wheel will bump into the shock on the inside AND the fender on the outside.
