Cool FR-S wheels on an xB?

Hey everyone, this is my first post and I don't want to come across as a noob or an idiot, but I had a weird idea/question...

My friend has a 2013 FR-S -- what a beauty -- and he's swapped out the wheels and they're just lying around his garage. Since the OEM FR-S wheels sit on 215/45R17 tires, which are the same as my current Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS's, could I put his wheels on my car with little trouble? I know the xB1 has a 4-bolt pattern and the FR-S has a 5-bolt pattern, but that's an easily fixed problem with a spacer/adapter, right? Besides, with a 5 mm spacer it should be pretty darn flush without worrying about any fender brushing.

Thanks,
Luke

You would need a 25mm 4 to 5 lug conversion adapter.

Get something good quality and get the correct lug nuts. Torque to the correct spec. Spacers can be fine if you pay attention to the details, disastrous if done incorrectly.
