check the bolt pattern and offset of the wheels. If they're 4x114.3 or 5x114.3(depending on whether you have a v6 or 4cyl) and a 30+ offset they should be fine

bolt pattern is the same 5x114.3

the evo rims might stick out a little...youd have to look up the offset cause i cant remember. they should be 7.5" wide or so...

Are you a V6? then yes, they can fit, but +38 is gonna stick out unless you are dumped and have mad camber, then it will look sick

the 235 tire would be what i would worry about everything else sounds good. +38 should be clean from what i hear but the 235 tire i would think would rub but idk.

hear this is the best sight i have found on tire fitment. It gives you everything you need to know to make sure your wheels fit and if they don't fit it tells you where they are going to need more clearance.

have you already bought the tires.

The tire manufacture makes a HUGE difference is the tire size. For instance, a Maxxis tire 225 width looks like a Falken 245.

Test fit the rim first. You might need to roll the fender a bit to make sure that you don't cut the tire when the suspension compresses. I would recommend going with a 215/45 just to make sure that the tire is flush with the side of the rim rather than sticking out.
