The bolt pattern is common, 90s Saab and I think Honda Accord, many others,
4 x 4.5" (114.3mm).  The offset is not so common, no problem on rears, but
front space saver spares may foul the front brake caliper, I have spacers
on my front wheels for other reasons and the Honda spare from the junkyard
fits.
