Normally the bolt pattern on a wheel should match or it won't fit on the wheel studs located on the hub. We have 5 studs/bolts and they are spaced out at 115mm. The other problem you may run into even if they did fit bolt pattern wise is the offset. Without sufficient wheel offset the inner parts of the wheel would probably rub against the brake caliper or mounting bracket.
