They will bolt up, but the 05-09 offset might have them sitting inside the fender wells & they might rub on the inside?? You might have to run a spacer to get them to clear, Im not 100% sure exactly though? What is the offset?

My car with 18x10 wheels that were made for 05+


It took cutting down the front 1" and a 1" spacer in the back. Both a spacer and cutting effectively lessen the backspacing, which is what you need. I needed to cut due to 10" front being huge, my guess is you just need spacers.

It looks pretty horrible if you don't run spacers, or do what CobraRed did for his. I wouldn't bother, but that is just my opinion.
