Most will fit yes, the stud pattern is the same and offset very similar. I think it's only steelies that won't fit.

steelies and mags fit ok.. aslong as there AU +

offset on AU's is +35 which is fine for a magna

EL's and prior are 0 offset (yes zero) which are not suitable for a magna

correction: the 16 inch steelies won't fit unless you shave a couple of mm off the front brake calipers.

Ford 7.5" and 8" x 17 fitted to BA, BF, BG and Territory are 36.5mm offset and have a larger hub bore than Magna so fit OK. Its a good idea to make up hub rings (exhaust tube is OK) so wheel is centralised and load goes onto the hub as well as studs.

Maybe he had a axe wielding murder after him and couldn't get a spacer in time... that or he was being tracked by man eating kittens and only had enough time to change to a steely.
