18 in wheels in 5.0?

[RickA1]

Sorry if this has been asked earlier. Searched but either I am not good at searching or there's nothing about this.

I am leasing a RWD 3.8. Coming to an end and I LOVE it. I have a set of OEM wheels (18 in) with winter tires. I am thinking of getting a 5.0 CPO, and I am wondering if I can use the 18 in wheels in the 5.0?

Thanks in advance.

Hmm....I wouldn't be so sure, since the 5.0 has bigger brakes and it might not fit in. I'd take one of those "snow wheel" to dealer and ask them to put it on any 5.0 if they have one there.

Well true; not sure if surprisinguy's "They'll fit" comes from personal experience. I guess I won't know until I try it; won't make a difference on my decision to get the 5.0 anyway, just looking to save some dough on 19 wheels/tires.

Thanks for your input.

Well I actually didnt think about that... I was just going by the 5.Os fitting back the other direction
