Compare for yourself... (Handy wheel / tire size comparer found here).

Yeah, that bolt was my main worry. I was using this calculator yesterday and scratching my head, the wheel are suppose to be delivered on the 10th. I still have to order lug bolts and possibly some spacers with hub centric rings, I figured I would wait till I get the wheels to see what kind of issues I'm going to run into. Like how long of a lug bolt I'm going to need, ball seat or conical, hub centric rings & or spacers.
