Default 2007 Monte Carlo wheels on 2002 Malibu?

Would the wheels from a 2007 Monte Carlo LT fit on a 2002 Malibu? The bolt patterns match (5x115), but are there any other important measurements I need to consider? All help would be appreciated.

Here are the wheels I am talking about:

Better look again 'cause I think the Malibu is 5x110 not 115. Don't try or you'll be disappointed like I was.

Charlie:
My daughter has a 2005 Malibu (Epsilon) that she took the factory mags off of and put on some 18's with 40 series tires. I took her 5x115's mags and tried to fit them on my 2002 Malibu (3.1). They would not fiton my 2002 Malibu as ithad the 5x110 pattern.

I think the "N" bodies (which includes 1997 thru 2003 Malibu and 2004 thru 2006 Classic) have the 5x110 bolt pattern, however the "Epsilon" based 2004 thru 2007 and the long Epsilon 2008 do have 5x115.

See, I got 4-5x115'factory mags(with lug nuts in a box in my garage that I cant use and wanted to preventothers from having the same problem.

Well I have it confirmed that the N-body Malibu (97-03) is 5x115 bolt pattern. The new Malibus are 5x110. That's why I couldn't get wheels from the 08 Malibu like I originally wanted to. Thanks for the help though.
