Would these happen to be stock 05-07 wheels? If so, the offset is wrong and you may have rubbing issues on your suspension

both actually... your car calls for a 25.6" tire... stock

the 05-07 tires are much larger than a stock 94-04 tire
also the wheels will sit further in the wheel well than they do now, and since the tire is bigger, they will rub inside the wheel well

along with looking completely retarded
