Wheel fitment question??

I'm looking to purchase a set of 18" rims for my wifes 2006 4.8is, and i'm not 100% sure of the fitment. If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

Wheel specs:

18 x 8.5 ET20

Does anyone know if these will fit?? Would these be an aggressive fitment, or close to the stock 20" rim offset??

Thanks in advance.

Fitment question...

That info is probably on the search forum here, but... you can go to the TireRack.com and type in your vehicle and hit the "wheel" search. It would show lots of wheels for your X and they generally give the offset etc. Might be a good place to start!

Fwiw,
20" wheels that came on the '06 4.8, had ET of 45 front/30 rear.
That 20 is different, but may be not undoable. And, many of the
18" oe wheels were 8.5, but done "square" with a 45 or 48, ET F/R.

I also found a set of used OEM 18 x 8.5 wheels, with the mid 40mm offset, so I think I'll stick with the OEM fitment, it'll probably be my best bet.

Thanks again.
