LSJ rims

Hey guys quick question.. I want to buy a new set of rims to mount snow tires on it in the winter time.. and I found a sick deal on a set of local lsj rims.. will they bolt up? Sorry noob question but if so I can now just swap the wheel/tire combos on the go when the lovely Ohio winter starts.

im not trying to thread jack or anything. if SS/SC wheels work with wheel spacers,what about the tire pressure sensors? if we dont put TPS' on the SC wheels and throw them on the TC,will it cause any kind of problems or just have the light on,on the dash board?

i found a set for 100$ on craigslist,so im lookin into getting these for winter.

You'll just have a light on the dash, nothing else. I ran my winter wheel setup with no sensors and I just put some electrical tape over the light and ignored it.
