Yes they should. GM changed the bolt pattern with the new body style. As long as you have the old style you should be ok.

I know this becuase I bought a 2006 Malibu maxx and tried putting on the wheels from my 2001 Malibu. They did not fit. I

I have a set of aluminum spokes from a 1998 that I am trying to refinish so I can put them on my daughter's 2004 Malibu Classic. Thanks for the info.

to tracerpix, i had the same problem, but vice versa. i tried to put the 07 SS wheels on my 00 Bu and no dicebut for 04cad, like tracerpix said no problem whatsoever! thats what i love about GM, they keep the popular cars/trucks an extra year as "classic"!
