I had some rims that were off an rx7, they fitted fine but the fronts seemed to need another 2mm for the centre caps to fit. It would still steer lock-to-lock fine.

long as they are 5x114.3 and similar offset, shouldnt have any troubles... also if the hubs are totally different sizes you might need to get some hub rings to make them fit better... id say rx7 hubs are smaller but if they are aftermarket wheels they will prob be big hub holes in the rims

If they fit, and you do all the nuts up, they shouldn't fall off lol

Just makr sure you use the right pitch nut suited to the wheel.
If its too sharp then the xontact area wont be enough amd will loosen over time
Most wheels are the same though
