Default Do these rims fit stock pirellis?

I have the 17 inch aluminum premium wheels on my mustang GT. I was looking to change the rims and I found these that I really like. I know they are 17 inch rims that I have on there stock, but I don't know the rest of the measurements or how muc they matter. Heres the link for all you guys who are good with sizing up rims.

The wheels are an inch narrower than your stock ones but the tires will still fit.

Actually I'm going with these. Idealy I want 17x8 correct? These are 17x7 just like the other ones...Will there be any problems since its not the proper size? Will the ride be rougher, handling be worse? Is it dangerous to be an inch off? Thanks STL.

Heres the ones I actually will be ordering. Wheel Details - Discount Tire Direct

Actually I'm keeping the stock tires because I bought the car in October and they gave me brand new pirelli tires. Its the rims that need to accomodate the tires.

I understood that. I just copied and pasted the size from the site. Its a link to the tires, but I was just using it because those are the stock size you have, and it says that size will work on those rims.
Its a shame they don't make them in a wider option.

The wider wheel is just going to lend a little more lateral stability to the tire. Don't think you'll notice a difference.

I like the look. A wider wheel would just give you better options down the road when it does come time for replacements. But not everyone wants a wider tire.
Just ask the tire shop to take extra care with the wheels
