They share the same bolt pattern but that's really it. The center bore is smaller on the 11s, Thread sizing is also different so no, they will not fit. You'd have to completely change hubs, change rotor and breaks completely. That's if the hub is even possible to modify.

I've seen them too but are the hubs just bored out?

I would imagine they just bored out the wheels...about 7.1mm between the two hub sizes
