You need to know the offset. They don't look right, but I am no wheel expert.

More modern wheels like these have very high offsets, so are tucking an awful lot in under the fender.
from quick google search << the stock offset is +40, >>
So while the 4x114.3 will fit, the inner side of the tire is going to keep you from steering much at all, and in the rear it'll hit the leaf springs long before the flange seats on the drum.
Lotsa previous messages on this, but you are looking for offsets more in the 10-15 range.

Fits on my 1500. Need to roll the lip slightly and put 175's on instead of the 195's
I think they are great looking wheels, reminds me of the style of 240Z hub caps.

also need to modify the wheels to fit on the front...
Worst case scenario run a small amount of wheel spacer on the front.

1500 wheels have a different offset than the later wheels.
