     Not any vehicle, you have to match up what is on yours.  Do a search on here, there a couple of write ups that members have used disk off other vehicles.
#1: The easiest and most obvious solution to any problem is 99% of the time correct.
#2: There is no such thing as impossible, it just takes longer.

The closest Donor you are going to find is an Impala with the same bolt spacing, but it won't be a bolt on.  If you search the forum there is a good write up on sourcing these parts.
