The simple answer is yes, they both have 5 x 110 bolt patterns and the same hub size. It is more dependent on the tires. On the SE came with 215/55 16 tires, the 17 inch equivalent to keep your speedometer on is 235/45 17. This is where the problem often comes in, these tires need at least a 7.5 inch rim width. If the rims are 17 x 7 (stock Aero Klingon wheels are 17 x 7) you should stick with the 225/45 17 tires that come on the Aero and either live with the speedometer error (on the safe size as you are going slower than indicated) of I believe from other posts it can be reprogramed to read correctly by somebody with a Tech II.
Besides the smaller tires will give you a slight improvement in acceleration, along of course with a slight decrease in milage. The difference in diameter by the way is only about 1.42% and will likely affect acceleration more than milage.
