Considering picking up a set for when the car sits over winter to avoid flat spotting issues. My questions are will they bolt up, I?m assuming yes. And will it cause any issues, I?m assuming no. But I?d rather ask and look stupid than damage something in the suspension or cause other issues

Fronts will work fine, same exact wheels.
Rears will work, just look funny. They will clear the brakes and suspension, but the offset and width will not fill the wheel well at all.
There will be a 2 inch wider gap at the tire and the body panel.

That?s kinda what I thought and I?m fine with the gap. It?s just going to be sitting in the garage all winter on a charger so I don?t care about it looking weird.

Why don't ya just store the car on jackstands and save
the expense of extra wheels and tires?
Jackstand storage can be controversial...

I was under the impression that?s not good for the shocks.

Set the jack stands on the suspension components to keep the springs loaded. Too much work moving wheels around and storing them.

get some old cheap carpet sample squares. double them up and pull up and you won't flat spot

they make a fancy tire cradle out of foam, but the carpet samples are cheap and ez
