Depends on the price.
If you where to go buy them at the dealer it would probably cost $350+ each.
IPD sells pegasus replicas for $178each.

they will fit, they will rub with the 215's(tires). If you can get 205's on them than do that.

They will most likely rub the inner wheel well, that is if they rub. Just get a set of spacers, or some people cut the wheel wells.

The inside of the tire will be your problem (Look at the pic where the the struts and springs are is wherthe inside of the wheel well is and where it would rub). The spacers will push it out just a bit depending on how big you go.

See if your friend will let you try them.

A $1000 for real pegs. and tires is a good deal

It is kind of hard to tell. I forgot what the back of the wheel looks like. It might say something one the rear of the wheel.

i was hoping so, usually does for a factory wheel for most manufactures from my experience. He has had them 4-sale for a bit so i may get a better deal. I just hope they fit. Thanx for all you help

$1000 is a good deal! Hell replicas are $800 w/o tires. Either way you will need wheel spacers. 235's are wider across than 205's or 215's. By rub I meant that when your at full turn the side of te wheel may rub alittle on the wheel well. Over time the tires will wear down on the inside. But its not a horrible thing, I had 205's on 15's and when i put it back down to 195's boy did my turn radius go up.
