18x8 redrum rims and tires by forte?

ey guys my friend wants 200 plus shipping for these rims, but my other buddy says that they wont fit because they are a for a front wheel drive car. he says that i will need spacers and adapters. I was just trying to figure out if this was right i thought they were all the same but now i need help confirming this. any help would be great

Re: 18x8 redrum rims and tires by forte?

without any specs on them its kinda hard to give you any answer at all on this, but if they are from a FWD car, (what brand??), there is a really good chance they have the wrong bolt pattern.

From what im seeing, pass on them.

looked them up, they are available in a 5x120, with a 45mm offset, so its possible they have the right (close enough) pattern, but without knowing what they came off of, its impossbile for me to tell.

you will need spacers though.

they appear to have a 5x110 pattern, so no, they wont fit, unless you use a spacer/adapter.

i still say pass, thats a lot of bs for a set of wheels. then you still need tires.

hey thanks for your help man well they come with great low profile tires with 90% of the tread left but with spacers/adapters i might as well put that money into some better rims and tires.
