Not without a little bit of help... :shocked:
RT rims have a different offset, so that the track is a bit wider...
You'd need to be able to get the fenders moved around a bit with some spacers. :thumbup:

There's that, and also a difference between the model years.
2010 to 2012 had 14" rims. 2013 on have 15 inch rims.

what years we are talking abou. but in answer to the question...No... Some need a fender adjustment because of the offset and starting 2013 some went to the 15" rims. Tell us which rim you want where and you can get help here...:thumbup:

:opps: Forgot that one... nice catch! :clap:
The 15" wheels and tires will fit the prior bikes, but the reverse is not true. :shocked:
(The larger brakes need more room...)

That is a little disappointing. I have a 2014 RT in timeless black, and was thinking of purchasing a set of 2014 RS-S, or ST-R rims when I needed tires. I don't like the blacked out rims on the RT-S, but I think the black with polished aluminum accents would look really nice on my bikes. Is the adjustment needed on the fenders very difficult?

Pretty sure all the 15" wheels have the same offset across all the models.
The fender issues were between RS and RT models prior to 2013 with the 14" wheels.
Either way, the fender spacers are an easy mod with OEM parts.

The overall difference in width between the four models, seems to be about the same...
(RT:61.9", RS & ST:59.3", F-3:58.9"...)
On the older bikes; they accomplished this with a combination of A-arm length, and wheel offset...
