Does the R100GS Para rear wheel fit on the R80/100RT Mono?

Got R80 Mono outfit. thinking about changing to spoke wheels.
 
Not cheap or easy to adjust the offset on the cross spoke wheels.
Usually the spokes are seized solid and need to be cut and hammered out.
Then the hub and rim need to be redrilled, then rebuilt with new oversize spokes and nipples, and using the correct wheel building machine.
So only a well equipped wheel builder can attempt , and they don't come cheap!
Some builders bodge it by drilling oversized bell shaped holes and hoping for the best , but it looks terrible.
 
The hub will fit but iirc it needs 16 mm machining off the mounting boss inside the drum to centralise the shoes on the drum,
You may also need to adjust the rim offset

Thank you gentleman. Guess I'll be sticking with the alli wheels. Though when I finaly get the gs and the mono together I'll have a quick offer up.
