Looks like they are 205/40/18s stretched across a wide wheel. Should work just fine as long as you have the hubs drilled to match and machined for the hubcentric area, and the offset is workable. Of course there will be an issue with front wheel clearance so maybe a narrowed beam might be necessary, and some massaging of the inner headlight bucket, and probably you'll have reduced steering due to rubbing on the inner fender on the back. Where there's a will there is a way though!
