New Wheels

A friend is selling 20" alloy tech chrome wheels....I tried them on my 09 tl sh awd and the pattern fits. Then only thing is that I need longer lug nuts and wheel locks. On the alloy tech website they said it doesn't fit my car. The tire measurements are 245/35z/20 95w....the rim itself is 20x8 1/2. Basically my question is would it be alright to use those rims because they fit the tire pattern?

He got them from his job. He works at a tire shop. Don't know what car they are meant for. I'm worried that if I put it on, something might get messed up.

oem if you want to spend less, ronjon if you feel like dropping 1700 on a lip kit.

The Ron Jon is about nine hundred on the website....but I would have to get it painted myself, so is that why it would cost 1700? I want to see how it would look with the Ron Jon front lip and the rest oem but I can't find a picture of someone with it.

its about 1130 or so for the full kit and to have it shipped unpainted. then you have to drop about 5-6 hundred to get it painted and fitted... so about 1600-1700 or so..

id just rock the front lip.

take my advice, get a lip kit first, then suspensions, then wheels..
