No.

The last number is in the set of three is the size of the rim. The new tires are 19's and 18's, the rims are 17's.

You could do it if you got new rims, 18's and 19's.

you can fit the newer bigger rims on

you can run those size tires if they fight the rim

not sure nut, I think 87 is the last year for spacers so , I would say yes

I certainly can't understand the French but "no where" in the description of either auction do I see any reference to the wheels "offsets". I see a reference only to the "bolt circle"! That's the 5 X 120.65 The auction states 120.6 but that is a frequent mis-statement.

Get the advertised offsets for the 18" and the 19" and post back! You are located where and the wheels would ship from where to you?

There's much more information needed to help you!

wheels is located in France, I asked the seller for the offset, he answered 56mm so I think the 4 wheels have an offset of 56 mm as in the original

I found the beautiful black on yellow

but in the announcement that it is precise wheels are original size for 88-08 model therefore I was not on the 18 "and 19" mounted on mine but as they have an offset of 56 mm I think it should be good

Is what I can put the lug nuts of origin with these rims? if I can get confirmation, I immediately buy these wheels
