bolt pattern wise, yes, but may require a little material to be removed in the lug holes. back spacing wise, what are they?

I would only do it if you are positive you have the wheel centered. Sure they may bolt up, but they may also be that small fraction off front center. At 7mph that will cause a bad vibration and can become dangerous.

I would read up on it more and see what guys have done to make wheels like this fit. I know there are a few good threads out there that outline what you need to do. I would not just bolt and go.
