Mazda RX7 Wheels?

I periodically see cars listed on eBay that have Mazda RX7 wheels on them. I know later Mazdas have a different bolt circle, but does anyone know if the wheels from a 1987 RX7 will fit without modification? Without sticking out in the front?

Interesting. The ones that are posted locally for sale are listed as being 4-lug. Normally, I'd just drive the Alpine over and see if they fit. However, that's difficult at the moment, since the car is still on jackstands and even best case scenerio doesn't have me driving it for another week or so. But if someone here were to tell me "they fit just great"...

Thanks Bill. I wonder if this could be one of those wheels that would fit if the hubs were re-drilled? Doesn't matter; I've got too many other Alpine things to worry about right now to go check them out. It would have been worth it if the bolt pattern was correct, but not otherwise.
