Default Will 2017 V6 wheels fit a 2008 V6?

2008 V6 owners....any idea if these wheels will fit a 2008? Bolt pattern is right, offset is close, center bore is +.2mm. I just need to know if they'll clear the 2008 brakes.

I think I've found a buyer for my 2017 wheels but neither of us know if they'll actually mount.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

They should, but keep in mind that the 2017 TPMS sensors will not talk to the 2008. So that guy will either have to spend $200-$300 or so to have hybrid stem TPMS sensors installed or stare at the TPMS light for the duration.

Well there should be away to move the TPMS sensors from the original 2008 wheels to the new 2017 wheels, I've done this before (not with a mustang though, but should be the same right?)

Sure. You can break down the 2008 wheels and tires, then break down the 2017 wheels and tires and put the 2008 sensors in the 2017 wheels.

I just went though the same situation though, and I didn't do that. I don't have access to an Air-Flate or balancer, so I would have had to pay a shop to break down 8 tires, swap 4 TPMS sensors, and remount and rebalance four tires.

Plus I'm not sure the sensor clamps will fit the larger rims. Even if they did, it's too much hassle and expense to re-use 10 year old sensors that might not have much battery life left. And my 2008 wheels & tires are worth more mounted & ready to go.
