I've been offered a great deal on 4 17" rims and tires off a Mustang will the bolt pattern match my 73 Satellite? or is it no deal ?
 
As long as they are 4.5" BP (and I would expect that they are), they should work. You may want to check width and backspacing as well just to be safe.
 
Doesn't the center hub diameter play into that also?

I'd make sure to check the hub diameter. I don't know how they are doing them with the newer wheels, but in 85 I used a Ford steel wheel to mount one of my snow tires. Went on okay, but was a bit snug going over the end of the axle hub area. Problem became apparent when it was time to take the snow tires off. Needed a torch and BFH to get the Ford wheel to come off (I know, it just wanted to stay on my Mopar so it never had to go back onto a Ford.)
 
Not sure about a 73 B Body, but I do know they will not work on a Challenger without a large spacer because the backspacing is to big. Do you know what it is? That would help give you an answer.
