yes and no.

they will fit on the back without spacers, but will sit so far under the guards itl look stupid.

they wont fit on the front without spacers, i think most use 25-35mm spacers.

yes, the xc ones will fit fine.

the b series rims will only fit on the rear, not the front.

if your going for a roady id fit the xc rims.

You need 35mm hub adapters. Those will have their own studs, so you actually have to bolt the adapters to your hub and then the wheel to the adapters. It'll be just as illegal as spacers but I'd much prefer to be driving on full length studs from the adapters, than the 35mm less thread you'll have on your original studs from putting spacers on. But none of those compare to actually having the correct offset which is always no.1 for safety.
