I would suggest you sell the WR wheels and get a set of XTX wheels for the R. Then its just a case of changing over the wheels and the R's front brake to the X (unless you want to start changing braking attachment points on fork legs or calipers etc)

I wouldn't worry about the strength of the wheels - they'll be built for abuse.
You'll almost certainly need custom spacers. Brake disk will probably be a different diameter, and possibly at a different offset from the centre of the wheel, but you can sort both of those with a caliper bracket.
They almost certainly won't plug and play, it will involve some custom machining of bits, but I'm sure it's doable, and once you have the custom bits it would be a quick swap.
Whether it's less hassle to buy a set of XTX wheels depends on whether you have access to a friendly machine shop
