No. Stud pattern and centre bore size is wrong, and offset is probably so positive that the wheel may hit the tie rod and on full lock hit the rails as well. The wheels may look like they fit OK, but the stud pattern PCD is 0.65mm different - enough to brake wheel studs. I've had it happen to me before on a HJ ute, wheel I thought were 4.75" PCD were Commodore 120mm and busted all 6 x studs off on one axle. Plus the Commodore centre bore size is different as well, so all the load of the car sits on the studs making it worse!

Also those broken studs have to go somewhere, and at high velocity. So they may fit, but someone else may pay highly for the fact they don't actually fit properly.
