Model 3 wheels on Model Y

Just wondering why I never see any Model Ys with Model 3 uberturbines on them. Obviously the tires won't work, but if you get the rims and sensors and put on appropriate sized tires, they should work, right? Slightly different look than the induction wheels. For people who like the uberturbine wheel/design but don't want 21" wheels, seems like the Model 3 20" should be an easy option, but I never see it....

Am I wrong that they fit?
 
Because the MY 20" Induction wheels look a lot like the M3P 20" Uberturbines? Most people, including many Tesla owners, wouldn't know the difference unless they were side by side if then.

I was considering this as an option too - purely for the comfort of 20" ubertines sitting on thicker tyres than 21" ubertines (once you have the correct tyres)
Wish I bookmarked it but I did see someone on insta had done it

Be aware the M3 wheels are 9" wide where as the MY tyres are 9.5" - less rolling resistance but also less grip?

Model 3 20" tyres: 235/35R20
Model Y 20" tyres: 255/40R20

They're around, done by members here.

Here's another one:

When I purchased my MYLR in mid-Jan, I agonized over different color and wheel combos because I was trying to stay within the tax credit price limit. I was really wanting the inductions though. Ultimately, I gave up - went with red & 19" Geminis, thinking I would figure out how to get the larger wheels and sell the Geminis down the line.

Glad I went that route as I didn't know there were decent hubcaps to be had. Feel like I got the best of both worlds. Saved quite a bit of cheddar, got a decent look, a lighter wheel and more sidewall cushioning.
