Nope. That's a negative. You need some with a 5x5.5 bolt pattern

I've seen some folks on here that are really against wheel spacers...any reasons why? They seem like an ok idea to stop some tire rub to me.

why do you need the spacers ? do the wheels have the wrong offset ?
what ever you do STAY AWAY FROM ALUMINUM WHEEL SPACERS ! get ones made from steel ! try ARROWCRAFT they may cost more but are stronger than aluminum !

Dodge n chevy duallys use wheel spacers on the front in order to use the bud wheels.

N I'm talkin like 2000nand up for sure.

Wheel spacers are only as good ad the install. As in you have to check the lugs that hold them on from time to time to make sure they are tight. I ran 2 inch spacers on. Pickup with 35s onn it without any issues for years.
