Default Winter tire and wheel package ordered

Just ordered up my package from Tire Rack for my 14 350 awd f sport. Ended up with 17" A7 Sport Edition black wheels on Blizzak WS-80's. I had the mounted and balanced by tire rack but opted out of the TPMS. Read a lot of good stuff on the Blizzaks.

Ninja edit: nvm i can't read.

Are these rims guaranteed to fit around the large 350 f-sport calipers? I am looking for a winter set too and these might work nicely if they do

What are the wheels specs?

I hope tirerack has some kind of fitment guaranteed policy cause I tried 4 different 17" wheels and they were all touching the caliper.

Most I tried were either 7.5 or 8 inches wide with offsets ranging from 40 to 45.

I now have on order RWC LX69 wheels that are supposed to fit...

I specifically asked the guy about fitment and told him about the larger calipers on the F Sport. He was well aware of it.

Hello

If you dont mind me asking, what is your offset ? And can you upload a picture to see if the offset tires passes the fender please?

Also, Please, what is the width of the rim? And tire size.
Thank you

When you receive your winter setup and get it test-fitted, can you report back to confirm that they fit? I might copy you with these wheels for a similar winter setup. Thanks
