It can depend on the tires. Go to tirerack.com or the tire manufacturer's website and check their spec sheet for the tire and size you plan to run. It should tell you the wheel width range.

Ths short answer - NO.

Stock rims are 6" wide... trying to put the tires from it on a 7" wide rim just won't work... and even if it does manage to hold air, it'll look funky.
