17" is the biggest allowed on a XF. Wide, not sure but the general rule is an inch wider than the widest available from factory for that model. I'll have a guess and say 8" wide.

fairmont came with 15/7 (so by that rule 1inch wider)
may pay you to go for 16/7 inch.

so if its going to be a daily driver i try to get a permit for 17/8inch and check with your insurance.

i thought the rule was 2" more than stock?

Yep, 2" taller and 1" wider is what's allowed.

The 15" by 7" were the snowflakes so you can fit 17" by 8" on a XF and don't need engineers as it's legal (in VIC.).

may be legal but if your driving anywear near perth the defect sticker go`s on.
