Mustang Wheels on a 2010 Ford Fusion

Hi, I'm new to this forum and I'm looking for a definite answer about my 2010 fusion. I currently have a couple opportunities to get some Mustang wheels and want to check if they would fit or not. The first set are some 19x8.5" OEM mustang wheels from 2013-2014. The second set are some wheels off of a 2018 Mustang Gt with P235/50 Zr 18 tires. If anyone knows if either of these sets would work it would be great. Thanks.

While I haven't made much progress, see this post, I have some vague images of how it isn't gonna work for me (but I didn't expect the tires to work).

My attempt with the 18x8.5 50mm offset and 235 50 18 tires jams the tire into the spindle in the front. I have 3mm and 5mm spacers I am going to try with this wheel/tire combo, but I do not plan on running 235 50 18, I want to run 235 45 18 but would be okay with 225 45 18 (OEM size for me) if needed. Most 225 width tires show that an 8.5 wide wheel is within range (some say okay up to 9 inch wide wheels).

 

Much of it depends on the offset/backspacing, there are a variety of them depending on the year. I didn't capture details on 19s as I wasn't interested in any of them, and only the 17 inch bullitts for informational purposes (and they are very common, maybe as a second set). The ones I got seem to have the most backspacing with 3/4 more than OEM (and it shows). If they are 8 inches wide and 40 or 50 offset much better.

15 mustang       235/50ZR18 18 8 40 6.07 2.93 0.09 0.41    
09 mustang bullitt     235/55ZR17 17 8 45 6.27 2.73 0.29 0.21   70.6
15 mustang 7 spoke split CR3J1007CA polished 235/50/ZR18 18 8 44 6.23 2.77 0.25 0.25    

 

I might get a 225 45 18 tire mounted on one of the wheels and try it out, just don't have the time, but I do need replace some of the tires soon, so it might happen in this lifetime.
