I assume you are talking about 15x8's, just get the summit star wheels, basically the same thing.

It might have the wheels sticking too far out. Keep in mind that an OE 16x8 had close to 6" backspacing.

They will fit but they will stick out of the wheel well. If you want the Roller skate look go for it.
