okay of course you aren't going to go with a back spaced wheel thats for a rear wheel drive... Stock wheels from diff. cars are a good bet..

I love that fender roller you made that thing is awesome...

Well, you could use a rwd wheel offset (let say 0 offset) if the wheel was narrow enough to not rub let the tire rub on the strut or the fender (you also need to consider tire width). Like I said before, it's not just the wheel offset or width or height, it's a combination of factors that need to be right for the wheels to work.

Stock wheels from different cars are a good bet???? Where's the logic to that statement? What would be helpful is if you share what you have on your car now like other people have.

For $60 you should just buy them and try. If they're not to your liking sell them

The bolt pattern should be the same.
