Dunno about merc wheels but magna yes. Provided you have spacers/hub adaptors
Magnas are the same as AU onwards

5 stud magna wheels are positive offset eg au+ offset so no on your ef with out spcers merc are a different stud pattern, I think something like 108 or something screwy but my memories failing on which either way they wont fit.
sorry neither are suitble for straight bolt up.

i think mercs are 5x112, which is slightly different.
in saying that though, i think merc might have used a few different patterns over the years.

The Magna Wheels will fit on the Falcon, along with MOST 5 stud imports (skyline, supra, soarer, silvia etc). The main difference here is the offset. These wheels are all an AU offset (anything over +35). Your EF will have +6 offset. These wheels will fit, with the use of hub adapters. As for the Merc wheels, most that I have seen are the 5 x 112 PCD, which may fit if forced. The wheel will not be centered on the hub properly, and will cause damage in the long run. For the BMW/Commodore thing - most of these cars run the 5 x 120 PCD, so these wheels would be interchangable, provided the offset is similar.

Exactly yeah 108 as I saids early holden and volvo, I was trying to remember which was which at the time drawing a blank only other point to mention is centre does change, e.g. camry/ toyota run a small hub center, but mostly on mags they make in the large center and just fit a plastic shim.
