Hello,
The Klingon wheels will fit the bolt pattern etc. The only possible issue is that the big brakes on the xwd car might not clear. Next time I have one in I will throw a Klingon wheel on to double check it clears. I have found with fitting snow wheel tires on these cars some wheels work and some don't with the big brakes.
The first time I ran into this it was on a customer car were we installed his snows on the first year no problem. The next year we had just put new brakes on the front and the caliper housing just barely grazed the wheel. He kept the summer wheels on for a month and that was enough wear on the brake pads to work fine. But I have seen some wheels that won't work. Good Luck, Bernie
