no, they are way to fat to fit in an aftermarket lug hole

no way. you need aftermarket lugs. most wheels come with an "install kit" which is matchnig lugs and sometimes a lock nut with key

I bought Paradymes and as far as i know they have no lugs, would any aftermarket lugs for 18's work or should i call paradyme and ask them?

Some aftermarket wheels require special lugs. Some wheels need tapered/cone-shaped lugs some need flat lugs, some with special sockets.

My Paradymes didn't come with lugs either, but Discount Tire was able to order some for me since neither my lugs nor the ones they had in stock fit.

You can order "tuner" lugs at almost any shop. Alot of places that sell rims and tires usually sell them with the kit that includes lugs emoji

Thanks for the help!

Jen - Do you have problems with your paradymes, as far as the lip pealing?

Yes. I'm still pissed about that. I loved them at first, but I'm pretty disappointed now. The clearcoat on the lip started peeling only a few weeks after I got them and they're discoloring really bad. Like the part where the clear coat is off, the silver turned a nasty brownish/greenish color. None of my other wheels have done that. The car has always been garaged and we never drove it in rain or snow so it's not my fault either. But oh well... I guess you get what you pay for.
