I don't see why it wouldn't work, I am almost positive that they bolt on the same. They only thing that might be different would be the airbag plug but I would imagine that they would be the same.

air bag should be the same, and if you dont know how to change the wheel its easy, 1, diconnect your ground. 2, there are 2 small holes on each side of your air bag, stick a very tiny screw driver in each hole to release the spring that holds the airbag. 3 pull off the bag and unplug it, then its the old fashioned undo the nut and get the wheel puller, assembly is reverse of install, good luck.

So the airbags are the same? What about the cover that goes in the center of the wheel, for the airbag? I'm very interested in how this turns out.....please update your progress.
