No, they are four cylinder fitment only. You don't want to use the really hard I6 motor mounts on the m4x motor. The little four cylinders have a ton more vibration at idle, and the I6 motor mounts are way to stiff. I definitely would not use the AKG race ones, even if they do fit.

The Vorshlag ones are expensive, but they are the best aftermarket mounts I've seen for our motors. Terry at vorshlag said they tried using higher durometer urethane and after a certain point it just wasnt tolerable the amount of vibration they put into the car. I definitely don't want to sit in my car with it just idling any more.
