Question on fitting R136 rims to a r53

I have a chance to get a barely used set of R136 rims with tires from a 2013 GP. Currently my r53 has the R85 rims with runflats using stock lugs. The car is not lowered nor does have upgraded brakes. Outside of the R136 being slightly wider, should the mount right up with existing hardware or will i need to do some upgrades before they can get put on?

Will it seems my use of Google was poor. Changed search terms around and they came up. It looks like ECS Tuning claims they should fit per their website.

Yep, they fit. Good you found them, not too many people replaced the factory wheels on the GP2. Trying to find pics of them on an R53, i know i have seen them, just wanted to show you what they look like.
