Personally I wouldn’t chance it. I know it’s hard to pass up a good deal tho
 






they somewhat fit and will deform:hammer: but if you were buying from a shop they probably wouldn't install them. If you're going to try it I would keep a torque wrench handy to see if any have come loose. At the end its your call, ones Ive seen coming loose had nothing to do with the bolt pattern being off by .35 MM but incorrectly installed spacers or weren't torqued to start (using just a small ratchet etc) or were not rechecked. The safe answer is NO:D
 






Why would someone even consider mounting rims that do not have the proper lug pattern?

The larger bolt circle will force your lugs to bend outward and or deform the conical seat in the rim, both increasing the chance of a failure.

If you don’t value your own personal safety, at least consider others around you if you should loose control of your vehicle at highway speeds because you saved a few bucks on the wrong rims.
