Default Wheel and Tire?

Viper owner I know is trading his Viper on a F430 Ferrari. He put a new set of 19/20 GFG Medellin chrome wheels and Nitto tires on it 4 months ago. They are universal 5 bolt pattern. Will these fit my 2004 CE?

What's "universal" mean? You need to find out what the bolt spacing is on the wheels, then you need to figure the offset. Then you'll have to get a mini-tub kit for the rears if the offset is proper, because there is no way a viper wheel is going to fit otherwise. Even then it may not fit with the mini-tub kit. I have the kit and only a 12" wheel. I don't think there is another inch available. I have 335's on the rear like the stock genII Viper though. I have some friends with vipers that might be interested, so pm me if you're not taking them and don't mind sharing the info.
