Question From abs to non abs wheels

Ok fellas I ran into a good deal on a set of Agitator wheels that are abs. My question is do I just change the bearing from abs to non or do I also have to change the spacer behind the bearing?
Thx in advance,

I think just the bearing.
The installation kit only listed 1 part # (Spacer) for 09-12.

If putting an abs wheel on a non abs bike all you need is the bearing change, I changed both bearings so they would be fresh at the same time but you could get by with just one, spacers are already correct for the non bearings on a non abs bike

Thx for the replies. The local indie had stated that it only mattered if you went to a abs bike. Turns out he was wrong as they will not fit. If rims have abs in them the bearing or bearings must be replaced to a non abs bearing or they will not fit.
It's solved and rolling down the road as we speak.
