Overall diameter: stock - 25.21" new - 25.46"
Diameter difference: 0.99%
Speedo difference: 0.991% slow
I'm under the impression that these numbers indicate that this size will be fine, but I'm not overally experienced in this department so I'd like to get someone's opinion.
I have an 08 xD thats basically stock.
Thanks

that'll be perfectly fine, i run 215/45/17 slammed on coilovers with few problems, and i'm sure with motegis you wont face the same offset and fender issues that i run into.
Do you know the full specs on the rims? 17x7 i'm guessing, +35-45 offset?
as long as you arent pushing offsets into the 50s you wont have any problems, even if you move to a moderate drop
