May fit but your ABS won't work. What would be the point?

A wheel is a wheel. The bearing is what changes from ABS to non ABS due to the magnetic sensor in it. They will fit.

As I just found out yesterday with a wheel change on my 09 with ABS, the ABS bearing is a bit thicker than the non-ABS bearing. The ABS sensor therefore is a bit thinner than the non-ABS spacer.

You should change the bearing before mounting the wheel.

Yes, as Bill stated. The bearings will need to be replaced. I put a set of '08 ABS wheels from a SG on my '97 RK. You actually only need to change one bearing per wheel. I believe the spacers are the same, but I don't have my parts catalog handy.
