Depends on the back spacing, should be 4.75"....and if stated, they fit Ford AND Chevy bolt patterns, that means they use unilugs...not good, not good at all...look for Chevy bolt pattern

For my Vette, I'd prefer direct fit. But to be honest, I drove my Toyota Pickup daily for fifteen years and about 200K miles with Keystone Classics on it (unilug style) and never had an issue.

I agree with GDAINA get the Chevy 5 lug. Keep looking lots of people sell them.

Regarding unilugs....I suppose on a street application they are ok....on track...I've seen what roadracing (Mid Ohio, Watkins Glenn, Road Atlanta) does to unilug rims...not a pretty sight...
Still, regardless if its the track or street, I'd rather have a Chevy bolt pattern or none at all.
