depending on the offset and backspacing of the rim and teh size tire you run, yes you can, but it WILL be a tight fit.

get out the torch and hammer... because you are going to be doing some custom work inside those wheel wells

i saw a notch the other day with 18x10 bullitts. the fit perfect the guy says, all he did was remove the quad shocks
im not sure of the offset or backspacing but the tire was 295/35zr18 99y

I think you are going to have to do some modded depending on suspension set up.
