can't see them fitting myself, would be best off speaking to the likes of reyland or rainbird etc as you will have to explain which calipers you are using, what offset the wheels have got etc, but i think they will be too small

also there are a few different sized "360" kits, some are 355 some are 358 some are 360 and some are 362 in size
