That could be it. I've already placed the order with Shine so I'll have them in a few weeks to take the measurements myself. Either way it can't hurt to have a little more room. Depending how close everything is to the suspension I may want to space the wheel out a for more mm anyway.

For anyone's reference Tirerack says a lot of wheels won't fit our cars not because the wheels don't physically fit but because they don't carry the correct 59.6 mm hub rings. I find this strange because a quick internet search yielded literally hundreds of results for 73-59.6 mm rings. I got a new set from Discount Tire Direct coming in today. Not only will the fit but they're also metal unlike the cheap plastic ones from Tirerack.
