IMO, it's not worth it b/c u have to do a 5-lug conversion and you'll end up paying more $$$. your friend's rims + conversion + other crap im forgetting to mention = p.i.t.a.

yeah, basically. haha. Its not a simple bolt on kinda thing. many things need to be done to do this. So scrap the idea of your friends rims unless you got some dough laying around.. If you really wanna spend the $$$ to do this, try searching. I think there are a few threads buried somewhere.

Not worth the effort or $. Cheaper and easier to have new wheels shipped to your door with new tires already on them.

What wheels does your friend have anyways?
