Default 5th Gen Steel Wheels on 4th Gen

Hi everyone, I have looked around and I know this subject has been beaten to death, but I was wondering if anyone has seen a set of the 2010 18 inch steel wheels on a 4th gen. I'm looking for some winter wheels that I wont feel bad about getting pitted and dirty, they also have a fresh set of tires on them for a decent price. Here's a picture of the wheel if you haven't seen them before.


I'm not worried about the looks as much as the fitment.

The standard fifth gen tire height is about 28.6 inches. 4th gen is 25.6. You will pick up a lot of ride height, if they make it in the fender wells. I have no idea on backspace. Lug pattern is 5x120, 4th gen is 5x4.75. Some people say it doesn't matter, but it is not technically recommended and can not be gauranteed safe.

Rims could be made to work, but the factory 5th gen tires are way too big.

I'm not too worried about being aesthetically pleased. If anything I'd just paint them all black so you couldn't see them at night anyways. I'm lowered about 2 inches so I was seeing if they could be mounted. The only reason I'm interested is the new tires and for $300 its a pretty good deal.

What are the specs on the tires? If you are lowered 2" I wouldnt go more than a 35 series tire.
I would say if the set is $300 (a steal for any 18" tires) just buy them and find nicer rims to mount the tires on. Or just buy them and sell them for more.
