Most "good" tire shops are willing to put a rim on your vehicle if it is
questionable whether or not it will fit. Maybe not mount a tire, but if it
will make the sale they will often times do it. I don't know what style
sheel you're looking at, but my favorite wheels in all the world are the
American Racing Torque-Thrust D wheels. Too bad they only come in 5 lug
patterns.
