Default XFR wheels fit on non-XFR models?

Does anyone have any experience with fitting XFR wheels (R20) to a non XFR model(3.0/2.2/2.0)

From looking at wheel-size.com, the front wheels are the same width for both models (8.5J) and offset of ET49.

However the XFR wheels are slightly wider at the back(9.5J) and have different rear offsets (ET66) , the non-XFR models(apart from 4.0/5.0) have offset ET49 both front and back, therefore I'm thinking that wheel spacers would be needed (15-20mm) to fill the wheel arch. I am not sure though if any other issues would arise from this (e.g. wheel rubbing)

Any help/advice appreciated.

i bet they'd be fine

on XFR, you can put 1'' wheel spacers to that stock setup and still not have to roll the fender for clearance

beware, you're "upgrading" looks only as you'll then be tormented by bends and cracks in the soft wheel / unforgiving low pro tire combo.. unless you have glass smooth roads

not trying to discourage, just inform - your mileage may vary..
