No, that fitment will not work. You need at least 10mm more offset on an xi.

xi wheel options are discussed in many threads / posts on this forum ... start here so you can become familiar with the offset and other fitment matters you need to be aware of.

Yes, most xi's here are are running offsets between ET30 and ET40 depending on wheel width and desired appearance.
