Ok her is the deal, I got a guy here that is trying to sell me some wheels, but they have a - 42 offset? Correct me if I am wrong, but these are not going to fit an xB are they?

unless you are a low rider, or you have to put some mad fender flares.
whats the width? size?
got some pics?

this has -32 et 8.5 width at the rears, -25 et 8 width front

-42? They make wheels with that high of an offset?
Please excuse my ignorance if they do. :?

You mean that low? Yes they do...

Yeah, low....you undermeant what I stood. :D

What diameter wheels are you looking for?

I think they would fit if you used some spacers. Probably the One Ton Garage ones are your best bet. Not sure if their is a clearance problem with the front though, I think if you got 7" width it should be OK.

:shock: That would be crazy. He was asking if a -42 would fit. That one pic has -32, so if you put a 5mm space on a -42 wheel, you would get -47 :shock: Would the tire even be under the car any more?

I'm sorry, I thought it would be a 38, never really could figure out how to calculate that. :lol:

Yeah, you are thinking about a +42 off set. With that when you do the 5mm space it would be a +38, we are in the - offset range, so its a whole other math game.

Now I get it. Alright thanks, I needed to be learned. :D

ok, just for an update , the informed me that is was a typo on his part and they are a +45 offset, which sounds alot better. For awhile there thou I thought I'd was going to be the only xB rolling Indycar style, LOL :)

:lol: Thats good, now just need to get like at least a 10mm spacer, if you dont want the tires to much in the fenders.

dude before you buy spacer, search on shims too. then decide whats good for your apps. ScionVan sells those. oh, thats for the rears only, he does have spacers available too.
