Default Wheel dammage?!

I found a guy selling 31x10.50 with soft eights. 150 bucks. tires have half life, and need to be mounted. The guy says one of the rims where the lugs go through is slighly worn/larger. My question is, Is this bad? Will it cause problems in the future? If i tighten my lugs good will i be fine? And my other question. I plan on trimming my fenders. Will they fit?

is there any pictures. It might be that the metal has just slightly worn down from being mounted and dismounted. Mine are like that, nothing major. See if you can get a picture and with trimming yes 31's will fit.

Thats a tricky situation cuz its only going to get worse and stress teh other 4.. It could be fine but on the other hand it could be bad.. For 150 bucks buy em and just but 1 new rim. prob solved

Like he said up there tho, it really depends on the severity of the wear.

It depends on the damage. I had lug nuts come loose on me before and it wallowed out the lug holes in the rim. The lugs still held the rim on and they are still in use 4 yrs. later. It all depends on the severity of the damage.
