They would fit but it all depends on the offset... It's All about the offset!

I know that's why I put up a link to the specs of the wheel. I looked all over the internet and could not find anything. I am not trying to waste anyones time But any way it is a +47 offset.

+47 is pretty high. So yeah it would fit but it may not be as aggressive as you would want. It would stick out like just under .75" from the stock wheels.

Jeebuz +47? our OEM wheels are +45. Personally I would stay away from them.

So it would be .75 closer to the fender? Sorry I am just having a hard time understanding this off set. The higher the off set the closer to the fender? If so this wheel is wider than stock so would that make it stick out further.

I'm no wheel fitment expert BUT.. My understanding is this. That wheel is 9" wide. The stock wheel is 7.5 inches wide. If the offsets were identical then the new wheel would be .75" wider on either side of the hub. Meaning it would be .75" closer to the fender as well as the inner wheel well. Now the offset increased positively by 2mm so it actually sinks in away from the fender 2mm. So the total change would be .75" less 2mm from the outer fender. Hence why I said a little less than three quarter inches further out.

Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Alex is right. To dumb it down.. Stock wheels are 7.5" wide and are designed to sit right close to your struts/shocks. Now imagine you have a 9" wide wheel that's sitting even closer to your struts. If you really want them, I'd recommend using spacers just to be on the safe side.

Good point. You definitely don't want wheels rubbing against your struts !!
