Never Said For Him To Run The Tires On His Current Wheels.

If He Was Contemplating Buying These Wheels For $1,250.He Should Be Able To Find Decent Fitting 18in. Wheels To Fill Up Those Tires.

no. dont buy them.they look like they have high offsets, and they are 5 lug and you are 4 lug.

for that much you could get 5 lug and some similar wheels or just new suspension stuff.
