Will 5.5 gen wheel fit on 7th gen?

Tried searching for this but nothing came up, but I still have my old set of 5.5 gen wheels and thinking using those for winter tires. Does anyone know if they fit on our cars?

In your opinion.


Assuming he has the 17" 5.5 gen wheels, they should fit fine (might need to check brake clearance though). You could always jack up a front corner and test fit the wheel without a tire to check that.

Since they are for winter tires, the 17" will be better than the 18" anyway, so I say go for it. Post some pics if you do go that route to see what they look like.

I have these in 17" on mine for winter wheels and they do look quite small, but not too bad: http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/Wheel...racite+Painted

If you go to the photoshop/artwork forum, someone there might be able to photoshop it for you to see what it would look like.

They should clear the brakes. It's just a winter set up so it doesn't really matter how they'll look as long as you don't have any trouble in the snow Do post up if they don't fit.

Thanks! Yea, its the 5.5 gen TE wheels. Care less how it looks. Its just for 2-3 months tops. I just worry about it clearing the brakes. I will test it out soon and let y'all know but looks like I won't be able to try it before this crazy winter storm hitting the ne. Next week hopefully. Thanks again!
