backspacing is for trucks

You need to look at offsets. anything from +35-45 will work.
Can go outside those numbers, but check for clearences first.

tires. 245/45/18s is the most common size

Pretty sure there are many many people using rims with the 5x114.3 bolt pattern with no problem.

Yeah I've heard and seen many of us use both 114.3 or 115.
