I want to buy some secound hand mags for my car but they are AU mags and I'm not sure if the bolt pattern is the same. Does anyone know if they are the same and I'll be able to use them. I really want them.

Bolt pattern is the same, offset is not.
Reproduction AU to BF wheels can be found in the correct offset, the e-series guys will have all the information on where to obtain them at reasonable prices. |

So without changing something the wheels wouldn't fit right, I'm guessing from a picture of the mags that the wheels would want to sit into the car more, is that right?

Fairly much, I'm pretty sure one of the locals will be along shortly with all the info you'll need to get the look you want though.

To fit genuine AU wheels, you will need spacers, which are illegal. The problem with the offset is that the AU wheels will sit in too far, as you suggested and can foul with suspension components. Try to get some aftermarket AU wheels in e-series offset.
