NO IT IS NOT SAFE!

The center hub is too small, the wheel will not sit flush against the hub. check it with a light you'll see the gap between the wheel and hub.

Very dangerous....

you have to bore out the center hub of the rear rims to match the fronts. any machine shop should be able to help out. hundreds of people have done this same mod, usually for track/autox purposes
