Default Will these rims fit properly?

Hello everyone!

Looks like I'll be driving the XF roughly 40,000 miles a year... I'm seriously trying to cut back, but this is my DD.

That in mind, I'm tired of the factory wheels. I don't like that I can't rotate them and the cost of 19 inch tires are a bit too much for my tastes.

Would I be able to put 18 inch wheels all around? More specifically, would these fit?

Size: 18"x8"
Off Set: +35mm
Bolt Pattern: 5x112
Center Bore: 73.1mm

It is my understanding that the rears are 9" wide from the factory. I'm assuming I'll have more traction issues with the 8" on the rear.

As always, THANK YOU!

If you really want to go smaller I would recommend staying as close to factory as possible... 18x8 +35mm for the front and 18x9 +22mm for the back. 5-112mm bolt pattern and closer to 68mm bore. Im not sure if a 73mm bore is a big difference or not but I would look for something closer to the 68 which is stock.
