I have a 2009 ford taurus x SEL AWD with tires 215/65/17. I was told that due to the size of the calipers on this vehicle that it takes a special type of rim to mount the tires onto as standard rims won't fit on the standard 5 bolt pattern ? can anyone who knows their stuff know if a standard steel rim for the winter that fits the tire size will fit on this car or is a special rim needed ?

I'm not 100% sure. I do know the standard rim size is 17X7 5-100/114.42, 5-100 is the bolt pattern, not sure what 114.42 is unless its the wheel offset.
