The hole pattern is the same and the wheel will fit.  However the wheel may not 
fit if it has tires on it!  The offset is a little
different so the tires will probably rub on the fenders.  How much rub will 
depend on the tires, and if you have done any
modification to the wheel wells.  You might get away with rolling the inner lip 
of the rear fenders.
