Yes,... with the correct "acorn style" lug nuts.

Re: Six Lug Ralley wheels
The lug nuts should have a chamfer (bevel) on the end, rather than being flat. The chamfer centers the wheels on the lugs.
You're looking for lug nuts like the ones on the left in the image. |

X2, with above^^^^^ but, it depends on what center cap you use. With OEM Corvette center caps those lug nuts will hit, i had to use standard lug nuts for clearance

X3 I used the OEM style Corvette center caps also. Standard lug nuts were needed for clearance + a set of locking nuts in the shorty style.

Re: Six Lug Ralley wheels
What I'm asking is, does the wheel opening have to be tight around the hub of the axle or is OK that the lug nuts carry the weight. It's about a 1/4" larger that the stock wheels.
