HI.....i have the stock Turbine Rims on my car right now and the size of the rim is (15x7 in, 4 lug, 4.25" lug pattern).....the TIRES on the car are NOT stock....but they still fit the STOCK rims.....

Would these rims FIRST OFF fit my car.....and secondly....would i need new tires????????? PLEASE RESPOND!
