Mothball Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 I'm sorry if this has been asked or posted before. I did look through the threads to see before I posted though. Tirerack has a set of 17" wheels with Blizzaks for a very good package price that I'm considering. Have any of you actually tried fitting 17" wheels on your car? I'm pretty sure I've seen them before on (ahem) another forum and our brakes are actually the same size as those of a regular Taurus if I am not mistaken but I'd just feel a little more comfortable if any of you have personally fit such a wheel to your car or at least can vouch that they do fit. Tirerack swears that they do fit and I know they are a good company but maybe I'm just a little antsy about this. P.S.: I know that they'll look stupid on the car compared to the 20's but sitting hind end in the air in a ditch looks more stupid right? Thanks everyone!

gpfarrell Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 If tire rack says they'd fit, I'd just confirm they pay the return shipping if they don't. I think you're fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crash712us Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 Tirerack says they'll fit there is no reason to believe they won't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 If getting dedicated winter rims myself, I would also go for 17s. I don't care what it look likes in the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerx78 Posted December 9, 2012 Report Share Posted December 9, 2012 If your unsure about fitment, if you have a local tire shop like Discount Tire and the may have a rim instock that is the same size and you can do a test fit. Thats what i did before i bought my track wheels/tire combo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HokieSHO Posted December 10, 2012 Report Share Posted December 10, 2012 Mothball, do you have a 2013 and does it have the Performance Package? I'd be very interested to know if the 17" wheels work with the PP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing 17" wheels will not fit the PP either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
