Default 2016 Scion tC wheels on a 2013 Scion tC ??

I have a 2013 Scion tC. I love my car, but I really really prefer the wheels on the 14-16 Scion tC.

They both have the exact same wheel specs.

Can anyone positively confirm that the wheels from a 2016 Scion tC R.S. 10 will fit on a normal 2013 Scion tC ???
(Please, don't guess and say "yes" just because the specs match. I'm looking to hear from someone with real experience that has actually done this).

Thanks for even reading my post.
I am forever in your debt if you can confirm this for me.

Thanks for the help.
Finally !!!!
I've been waiting to hear from someone with real experience in this situation.
I had a hard time believing I was the only person to think the newer 14-16 rims looked much better than 11-13 stock rims.

To ease my mind I have a few more questions since you've done this yourself.
I attempted to install them last fall. I've been changing the tires on my car and my wife"s car for more than 15 years without any problems.
The fronts went on fine but there were problems with the back two.

When you put rims from a 14-16 Scion tC onto your 11-13 Scion tC, how long did you have them on?
Any problems with them not fitting right due to rust on your hubs?
Were there any problems with them not fitting perfectly because of the slight bevel on the 13-14 rims that causes a large gap at the top, compared to the 11-13 stock rims that don't have a bevel, and so no gap??
If so, how did you deal with that?
If not, did you have any problems with rocks etc getting caught in the bevels gap, thereby rubbing against and ruining your brake rotors?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

They both look better with the wheels from the opposite models. I didn't run those wheels on mine as I wanted some that filled up the wells better, but the cars are almost identical. They essentially just have different bumpers.

Not sure what issue you're talking about, the wheels have the same center bore and offset and the cars run the same brake rotors and hub. They have been swapped between models many times. If there is an issue it is likely with your hub or unique to your situation. Can you add any photos of what you're seeing?
