Not as is. With a little work likely. You will need the 3 bolts that hold the caps on and then you will need to drill and tap those wheels for the fasteners to affix the caps.

where they tapped? The previous set I had just had small sheet metal screw I found. Ill try drilling and taping if that doesnt work. I new I had to drill the rims just wast sure if the steel was thick enough for the caps to work with.

If they fit when mocking them up then I think you are good. You may even get by with a self-tapping screw, although a pilot hole wouldn't hurt anything as long as you don't go so big that the threads can't grab.

Yes they will but you will have to drill and tap the holes to bolt them on. I did the same thing on mine Blazer. It's not hard, just some careful lining up. Be careful when tapping the holes not to break the tap off they are very hard and don't drill out.

Yes, as explained. But those aren't hubcaps, they are called center caps.
