The bolt pattern is probably the same.

Looks like the off-set is less... that should be OK on front. It would be like having spacers. On back they would stick out a bit. Tires are larger than we normally use.

If you use wheels like this be sure to use conical lug nuts to match the wheels. But I do not know if the supplied lug nuts will fit our studs.

At $700, I wouldn't try it.

JimK has some similar wheels for sale. Go to his website and have a look. It's quite possible you could use the ebay wheels.

Those wheels LOOK rather nice. I like the style.

It looks like it uses the same type of Lugs as the lug centered Eagles that JimK sells. Maybe the SS lug nuts he sells would work?

I wonder what the off-set is. It looks like it has SOME positive offset. If someone is THAT interested, maybe they could ask the seller to measure the "back spacing." If it is anywhere CLOSE to 6 inches the wheels SHOULD work. (But I would not expect more than 4.5.... and that would be a problem on the rear.)
