will these fit my xb?

[2011xb4me]

ok i have a question for you wheel and tire guru's, and am hoping you can help me out. i have a 2011 xb, and am on a tight budget. i found a set of ford flex wheels which are a 114.3 offset so i know they will go onto the xb, but i need to know if these tires are to big to fit. thanks for the help.

youre gonna want a smaller tire on those that will throw your speedo off by like 15%... 114.3 is the lug pattern not the offset

also theres someone on here who ran flex rims for a while i dont remember who though

It was me...I'm running them on my wife's RS7...The rims "fit" but not without modification of some sort...Not sure why because the offset is actually perfect (+39) but for some reason the center area where the lug nuts go, the metal is thick and it touches the calipers...It rubs the fronts more than the rears, therefore you have to grind the calipers down or run spacers...I chose to grind the calipers down and in the process I painted them...All in all they turned out awesome...As far as the tires go, you will not be able to run the tires it comes with, they are too big...You need to run 225/40/18's...By the way I picked up just the rim's for $200 bucks so I scored and they look awesome on the xB...

Here is the thread I did on it over on SL: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/showthread.php?t=187722&highlight=ford+flex
