Yes you can. Apparently some fitters will deny it's possible / allowed, but there are scores of folks on here who have non RFT winters (or summers for that matter) fitted to OEM rims that were designed for RFTs. Including me, and the fitters didn't bat an eyelid.

+1. There's no reason not to fit non RFTs

I have non RFT on my 108s. No problems :thumbsup:
