Funny thing. You can put a 99 Civic DX wheel on a 99 Civic HX, but not vice versa, even though both cars share the same tires and knuckles. The HX has brake calipers which extend a few mm less out the side (width, I guess you'd call it) to clear the spokes of the rims they chose to use for weight reasons.
Maybe the other common factor here that could almost absolutely guarantee fitment is to make sure both vehicles use the same brake calipers, or that the brake calipers on the vehicle in question do not extend in any direction farther than the calipers of the doner vehicle. Otherwise, while a rim might be very likely to fit, there are no guarantees.
