They will be the wrong offset. They should bolt up to an AU ok.

They are SEX yeah after a bit of research it seems with wire wheels you have to retighten the spokes as regular maintenance.... f**k that. Plus i rang SSA and some dude that barely spoke english told me they only make one wheel in eseries offset, even though there website says the spoke rims are "0" offset

ok i went and seen my local beaurepaires about some wheels, was expecting ridiculous prices... BUT he showed me a pamphlet they get with monthly specials, and after only talking with him for a couple minutes he said he can do a 19" Advanti Volt package for $1500
 i know i just sold a used set of these in 18's, but these are 19's and to be honest are an 'ok' looking rim, and I couldnt be f**k waiting 5 weeks for ebay rims, when i can get bigger rims for a similar price and have it all on my car within a week and need some honest opinions if these wheels will suit my car?!!

Yes, take the 19's
 To be honest they look f**k awesome on your Fairmont, the paint colour suits it well i reckon. Very good price too, only thing better than 18" volts is 19" ones  Go for it, unless you can get the cobra's in 19's for a similar price |

yeah i think the dark purple paint suits darker coloured wheels more than bright alloy's. They fpv copies in 19" start at $1100 inc post, plus tyres which would end up like $1700+
this Volt package i was offered is about $400 cheaper than anywhere ive seen on the net, the bloke is not the manager there, but kinda runs the place while the boss is out, so i think i better put some f**k money down on these rims before his boss see's whats going on
