Should unless the tires rub. The stock brakes should clear no problem. Thats the right pattern, 5x4.5

fyi 5x5 is for trucks and large GM B body type cars. 5x5.5 is also a truck size wheel. you could buy me a set of r my F150 if you like... I woudnt mind at all..

You could even go up to 4.25 on the backspacing if you didn't get silly with the width of the tires.

A 225-50 is about the largest tire you can run. Those are good looking wheels even though they are made in China. That's one hellava tire. The ZR is rated at what? 130 MPH?

a 205/45??? Yikes! Thats small! I would go with the 225/50 soaring mentioned. And "Z" speed rating is 149+
