Default Craigslist find. Too big?

I'm certain the bolt pattern is the same and a center ring adapter will be needed but are the tires too big? Not lowering the xB. Curious if any rubbing will occur and offset isn't too much. Thanks!

Nice deal, and it would look great (wheel centers notwithstanding) but don't forget to factor in the TPMS monkey business you'll have to deal with. The TPMS is like a hidden tax on lookin' cool.

xB2owner,
Note, Drew's wheels pictured are 18x8, so those 245/45-17 tires are going to look even meatier. And the Wheel Calculator says 10.7mm wider outside, which is not problem, but 14.7mm less inner clearance. Might be OK since you say you're not lowering...

I'd definitely find something to swap in for the Pony centercaps. Any more you could dealdown the price could go to powdercoating to tone down that distinctive 'stang thruster spoke look.
