It's possible,but you'll need longer wheel studs.

No, I don't think so.

The OTG rear shims fit the contact pad of the rear hub. I seriously doubt it will fit, but I have been wrong before.

OTG does make a spacer thats universal for 4 and 5 lug vehicles. However the OTG rear spacers are not universal for the front.

Oh yeah, forgot about those.

They can be run up front, but it would be a good idea to check to see if your studs are long enuff.

For front wheel spacers it depends on how thick your wheels are as well. I ran a cheap set of spacers from Pep Boys for awhile when I had my air suspension in the car to allow clearance for the cylinders. They were 1/4 inch thick and I had about 5 threads that the lugs could hold.

OEM studs aren't long enough. Maybe on steel wheels but I wouldn't take the chance.
