RE: ALLOYS
What year is you 850?
Can you post a pic of your car and the wheels?
Do you own a torque wrench?
If you have easy access to the wheels, bring a torque wrench and a jackand torque to81 foot pounds-,ask the owner(first) of them if you can test fit them andperform a testrun, with him along for the ride,so that you can test thefit lock to lock andto the freeway for the on ramp and off ramp lean test to listen for rub. Obviously you won't have the radio playing as that is not what your are doing this for.
Check the fender clearance and if all is well then go for it andgolook cool [sm=smiley20.gif]Those wheels do not sound any larger than you could get as a standard upgrade from the factory/dealer.

I have 225/45/17 mounted all around on my car. My car sits very low to the ground and when i took off the tires the other week, I noticed very very little rubbing in the wheel well. I rarely go full lock but It doesn't seem to rub much.
Another thing to note is that my tires have a 94 sidewall weight rating which means they're pretty stiff tires too, but as I said, it really depends on the tires (different tires have different shapes) and how your car sits.
