As long as they have the same bolt pattern, backspacing, offset, and aren't too much wider then they will work.

All that Larry said is true but be extra careful with offset. It may make your rims look odd. The best video I have ever saw about offset is this one: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php? v=1493359910886681&set=vb.1476928005863205&type=3&theater
