Can I use Altima steel wheels for snow tires?

I would like to buy a set of winter tires mounted on new steel wheels but it doesn't seem like anyone carries a steel wheel for the Quest. However, most places have a steel wheel available for the Altima. My Quest is a 2005 and I have seen that the 2006 Altima (and probably others) seem to have identical wheel specs. Shouldn't I be able to order tires mounted on Altima wheels?

Altima steel wheels

I found out the reason they won't work is because the Altima steel wheel center bore is smaller.

Doing a quick comparison on www.tirerack.com, it looks like you can use the same wheels as the base Altima. To double check, the tire shop that you buy the snow tires should be able to confirm that the wheels from the Altima are fine.
