Yup just make sure you start the lugs by hand so you don't round off the threads.

Along the same lines I just posted about using ford focus wheels at rx7club.com. I understand the 15"x6" Focus wheels have a 4.25" bolt pattern which equates to 107.95mm. It would be a really close fit but I think it could be pulled off. Any first hand experience with these? How wide can you go on a gsl with stock suspension? I need a bit more meat under the car but I don't want to spend big bucks.
