Sorry I missed your question. Yes, I only changed the arms. Everything else (spindle, spacers, chainring etc) from non-hollowgram. No spider in my case - chanring is direct mount.
Without modifications as in pull it out of the box and install? No. But if chainline isn't an issue the modifications are really simple. Just add or remove spacers from the spindle.
When you get the Rotor crankset the spacers included will likely be for 68mm width shell (BB30/PF30) or 86mm width shell (BB386/PF386).
The SuperX uses an 83mm width shell. So you either have to add 15mm spacers from teh 68mm configuration or remove 3mm from the 86mm configuration.

I have a Rotor 2inpower crank and Rotor Qring (40T Oval) fitted to my 2017 SuperX and its been a bit of a challenge too be honest. Instead of fitting a 5mm spacer non drive side, i have had to fit it drive side to ensure even Qfactor and a decent gap between the chainring and rear chain stay. It works well but for the life of me i cant get rid of the creaking and clicking noise from the bottom bracket. I have fitted new cups and bearings etc and still no joy. i have thought about fitting a C-Bear PF30A bottom bracket but they arent cheap. Any ideas?
Find out what width spacers are required to fit a normal 68mm width shell. As long as you can remove 7.5mm from both sides you will be able to install the cranks on the 83mm width shell.
Your idea for installing 1x ring in big ring position will get your chainline close. The spider may foul on the frame though. If that's the case then you might have to move some spacers from non-driveside to driveside.

Is the Rotor crank modular? Try it, if the spider hits the frame then buy a longer spindle and run the chainring in the middle position. Your q-factor is a bit wider but for most that's a non-issue.
Nan, thats the thing… the spindle is bounded to the left crank arm.
