Enh not without a lot of work. The fronts are the real problem thats a very aggressive spec for the front. You'd need a lot of camber, pulled fenders, stretched tires to make them "fit". Rears are a little easier though it is still pushing it. Still looking at -3 camber, fender roll, pull etc. Could probably squeeze a 255 in the rear at least.

Okay word cause they already have stretched tires on them not sure the tire but the front wouldn’t fit?

It would be really helpful if you posted all the specs like the tire sizes they come with as it is cut off in the picture. It looks like it says 215/35/18 which is just stupid on a 9.5 inch wide wheel. The 35 series sidewall also makes them shorter than the oem diameter. These are just some cheap knock off wheels right? I wouldn't go through all the trouble of pulling my fenders to hell and running those tire sizes for any wheel let alone a cheap TE37 knock off.

Yeah the work required to fit cool wheels in that size is still probably not worth it. That work to run garbage eBay wheels? Never .

Avid.1 is bottom of the barrel eBay trash dude. Like, I'd trust a Rota 10times out of 10 before an "Avid1"
