if there brakes are stock, or stock sized then it will fit. I had to use my spare tire for a day when i had a flat.

All you guys tha Upgrade wheels to lose the weight do realize that if you are putting wider tires it does add weight back. 245/40/18 vs 265/35/18 or 265/30/18 is a good 3-4 lbs each corner.

so yes in the end you get a wider tire/wheel. But this isnt losing weight.

With my PF01's i went 18X9.5, with the lighter rims and being wider, it equals the same weight as my oem tires/rims.
