Default OEM AWD rims on a RWD?

I know the RWD have wider rear tires then the front, and the AWD are all the same size so would OEM AWD rims and tires work?

If your rims are the 17" wheels, they will work on the RWD.

Tires assuming 17", you could do so, but it's going to look funny and throwing the ODO off.

18" wheels, nope since it will require the wider wheel for rear.

It would work fine. As far as it looking funny, well it would look the same as the AWD looks (which I guess could be funny, but that's up to you).
