No. The studs need to have the correct PCD (pitch-circle diameter - the diameter of the circle that passes through the centre of each stud), the offset (the distance between the wheel centre-line and the mounting face) needs to be correct to ensure the loading on the suspension system is within the design limits of the suspension (and also that the wheel actually fits in the wheel arch) and the rim width has to be small enough so that the wheel and tyre can fit into the wheel arch.
Remember that just because the wheels fit the arches when stationary does not mean that they fit properly - you need to take account of suspension movement and steering (including both at the same time).
Also bear in mind that one of the reasons the Clio 172 and 182 are so good at travelling fast on back roads is that the 15" wheels allows plenty of tyre depth and suspension travel to keep the tyres in good contact with the ground even when the ground is rough. If you put on larger diameter wheels (with consequently lower profile tyres) you will lose some of this ability, hence reduce the safe speed that the car can travel over bumpy roads.

No. this is not as common because the kind of holes contained in the wheel - there is all kinds of measurements that ought to journey the vehicle's specs. Ford and Vauxhall specs are diverse, you want to get a series which have the perfect installation for that motorcar, lot's of places on-line, garages or perhaps merchants like Halfords can lookup the perfect installation for you and also you may then bypass searching for the right wheels. in no way merely placed any previous set on, even if or not they look to slot - "performing" to slot does not mean they extremely do. besides as being risky you may want to also be committing an offence - motorcar undeserving for the line.

No, you need to find out the offset on the studs. There are many different offsets, I would say talk to your local custom wheel shop.
