FWD rimz on a RWD car...?

I was looking at some rimz at pep boys saturday...and i found some rimz that i would like to put on a 240 that im getting...and i was looking at the price tag that was next to them and it said that the rimz were made for FWD vehicles.......can they be used on a 240...?

FWD front hubs are usually "sticking out" more than RWD fronts, and you might also get some clearance issues (wheel hitting suspension, tires rubbing fenderwell, etc.) If you are on a budget, at least try some wheels from ADR or R-1 or Konig... they're still primarily a FWD wheel maker but they have some offsets that work better with RWD than the Pep Boys wheels.

That plus you'll feel retarded the first time you see a 240 with RWD wheels, then wish you had bought RWD wheels instead
