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

Thats not a problem. They are mag rims from a superbike. They handle abuse well though. This option will be a whole lot cheaper that X wheels.

Stock X wheel is a 4.25 in the rear. This is a 4.5 I dont think it will be a problem though.
