OEM Wheels from 2009 and prior compatible with 2010?

I have a 2010 Mazda3 5-door Sport with the 17 alloys. Id like to pick up a cheap but decent looking winter set up. Thus, two questions:

1) Do the 17OEM alloys from any prior years (eg, 2009 - see pic) fit on the 2010 5-door Sport without any modification/spacer?
2) Also, do the 16 OEM alloys from 2010 (the same year - see pic), fit on the 2010 5-door Sport without any modification/spacer?

I dont know if the bolt pattern is the same or if they would clear the disc brakes, etc.

That said, Id be interested in other inexpensive options. Prefer to not use steel wheels, but I am thinking of going down to a 16 if I can for winter.

Thanks!

I am not speaking from experience since I own an 09 but I would think that the 17s should fit just fine. I have not heard that 2010 sport models use bigger brakes than the earlier models so I would say that the 16s will most likely fit without issues as well. I am not entirely sure what the stock offset is on the 2010+ models but the previous models should be in the same ballpark. As far as spacers go it is up to you. Stock wheels are always sunk into the wheel well a bit but you most likely wouldn't need them to make them fit.
 
All 2010 wheels grew a 1/2" wider but this shouldn't be a problem. The 17's grew from 6.5" wide to 7", and the MS3 18's went from 7" to 7.5" wide. Same bolt pattern
