Does not say it will fit, but that it could fit. My car is a Linear so I am expecting that it is more likely to have smaller rotors than the arc or areo, no guarantee of course. I will get ot there and pull front wheel and measure the rotor diameter and see what I have there. Hate to take a chance on ordering these rims as shipping will be noticeable and non-refundable.
