nope - won't fit, wrong stud pattern. Sell them and use the $$ to buy a set that will fit.

There are no stupid questions mate, welcome to the forums and good luck with the wheel issue. Good to see you've come to your senses. :

There are plenty of wheels available for your car, remember that AU and on wheels don't fit..

unless theyre a multi stud pattern rim...
usually theyre in the ford/holden (114.3/120) pcd patterns, or the subaru/ford (100/114.3) patterns...
but theres no gaurantee theyre the same offset...
chances are they arent, as the pre-au falcons have a 0 offset...
not sure about the commodores, but i think theyre close...
post au are pos 36 if i recall correctly...
