    I'm sure it would be possible, but it would cost a fair bit, You have to do some work to fit em in i reckon...

    I mean.. the wheels on their own are probably about 5grand.. if not more lol (havent seen how much they cost but they'd be very very very expensive).

    But wait... There's more!!


    But that's not all!!!

    ^ they do have a different pattern, but it can be filled in so that they do fit... I think someone on here said it costs maybe $20 a wheel??

    Can be done though I'd love a set

    But wait... There's more!!

    oh ok so they would fit? or would i need 2 front wheels to make it fit at the rear?

    I asked the guys at work (i work at a smash repairs by the way) and they said it would take some effort to get the wheels to fit with the 9.5inch's at the rear to stop it scrubbin etc

    But in theend id need a camber kit huh?

    Its only that expensive for rubber if you get the same tyres. I run 19" 245/35's and they are $280 a tyre.
