If the bolt pattern is correct, then it is the off set ( back spacing) that is wrong, They may work with wheel adapters. But be ready to shell out another $ 300 for the adapters.

Eagle makes them in a Chevy bolt pattern; "LowCamaro" has them in 18" on his ride:

two people i know have them with mixed personal opinions. one set that is driven year round didn't hold up at all and looks terrible. the other set is driven 2,000 miles a year and is barely holding up.

personally i would look to another brand but if your getting a deal and can get the direct bolt on i'd do it. if you need adapters look for another set.

Ive had mine on my car for almost 2 years now. Finish is still looking awesome, i do have adaptors on them whick bump them out because of the offset. As well, its a 5 on 4 1/2 bolt pattern , so the adaptors changed that over to the chev style for me.

I have them in 18X8 I got new off of a place on ebay for $469 shipped. Add the $300 for Skulte adapters and I have 18s for $769, not a bad deal if I say so myself. They still look great and all I do is clean them with some Blue Magic or Mothers.

True, pretty damn good price for 18s.....but, you could get these


for $559 shipped, add $300 for adapters(if needed, I dont know what +35 is) and you have 18s for only $100 more.

I am just pointing this out because I like the look of these better. But to each his own.
