Answer 1

you have the wheels upside down...rotate 'em 180º & try again........

sorry, just couldn't resist.

seriously, the problem is, that 20 rims just won't fit on a 4-wheeled vehicle.

dangit, did it again..........so sorry............

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

Sorry, but clearly between the 95 and 96 model year the dimensions of the bolt pattern changed.
