If they bolt on, they'll get you home, but I bet your traction control won't work and you'll have to turn it off.

You'll need new tires for the rear, I'm hoping you don't think you can run those wheels permanently....

Doubt if you are going to wait for my comments before making a decision.

If it fits, limp it home. What happened to your spare tire?

Could've been worse. I was with the gf driving home from a mall about an hour away from the house and I had a tire blow and went to get into the trunk to change the tire and there was no jack, no tire iron or anything.

Had to wait a half hour at least for a kind passerby to help with a jack, then found out that the bit wouldn't fit into grab the lug nut because the wheels are aftermarket and the iron was too thick. Had to wait longer for him to go get his metric bits before I could change the tire.

Not a single **** was given by me, gf was flipping dick though.

Stupid expensive Bridgestones
