I'm sure going to throw them on as-is and see what happens. If not I'll take the rubber and sensors off and get smaller rubber. I'm hoping they'll clear and not look like a tonka truck.
If any locals are interested, the dealership (roger beasly) had another set of identical wheels with continentals on them. Same approximate mileage/condition. I stole the centercaps from them, but the price is the same. $350.

You will be close on the fronts! Wheel fitment calc. say you are 1mm toward the good.
The rears will be just fine. May want to add spacers (5mm or so?)
This is a great tire combo, with really nice sidewall aspect.
18's with the comfort if the 17's.
However you will have a really tall rear tire. Slower take-off, and a slow running speedo (near 28" diameter, OUCH!)

Re Wheels and PC Coating
Ben I just left you a phone message. I called dealer and put a hold on the second wheel set and they are getting an arrest warrant for the guy that stole the center caps 
When you get time call me about the PC email we exchanged and the wheels.

Great Score Herman! I've got a meeting after work tonight but will give you a buzz later this evening.
The centercaps were unimpressive flimsy plastic if that helps. Or so I heard...
