2014 wheel specs (snow wheels/tires)

I've got a 2014 V6 with performance package on order, and will need a winter tire setup for it. I have some questions regarding wheels that hopefully you folks can answer. I've been searching for a while but haven't been able to find any solid answers.

First, will 17" wheels clear the calipers on a V6 coupe with performance package? Ford isn't exactly clear on what changes there are, besides saying "unique calipers". I just want to make sure before ordering a bunch of stuff that won't clear the brakes.

Second, I'd like to get some 17" steel wheels. Is there a source for wheels that are a direct fit for the 2014 Mustang and don't require hub rings or have an offset that is improper? And for that matter, what is the appropriate offset? I've been looking at Summit Racing for wheels and I haven't found anything that appears to be a direct fit. I realize there are a lot of alloy wheels out there that fit, but I prefer steel if possible as the roads here suck, and I kinda like the "cop car" look of steelies with chrome center caps.

Thanks gents.

After a bit of searching, what about these: http://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/pts/4314819934.html

I'm fairly certain the Taurus wheels bolt right up...

I drove on the stock all seasons for two harsh winters. Get you a set of roush take offs for like 600 and beat them to hell while you save your good wheels.
