i'm gonna be putting 18s on my xb probably 18x7.5 i'm thinking abotu getting the 5zigen 5 spoke rim i think it's the fnc10r or something like that, what size offset should i get??
thanks

Guessing that you'd want the rim/tires as flush as to the fenders as possible and not sunken in the wheel well--you should try for something +35 or lower...the lower, the more flush with the wheel well.

Great choice on wheels by the way--they will look awesome.

thanks :) i'm thinking about doing the hyper black since the scion is black, it think it will look good, i want them as flush as possible without rubbing, casue i plan on dumping it pretty low

I spoke to the dudes a mackin racing( volk rims importers) and they run a 18x7.5 +36 offset. Which they tell me is a pretty conservative offset. I seen some XBs with a offset of +25 all the way around and it is flush with the fender maybe even a hair sticking out a bit in the front but pretty nice set up for the back. So I would suggest probally a +30 all the way around of you want to keep the offset the same. If you want a staggered set up then probably like a +30 in the front and like +24 in the back. Just my opinion.

i feel stupid but what is offset exactly when ppl talk about it, it confuses me would i need it for 18's on a xA or 17's on it

here it is pretty simple :) offset is how far the wheels are pushed out from the hub, the bigger the number the closer to the hub the wheel will sit so a 40 offset will have the wheel sucked in pretty far , you gotta watch it b/c if you go higher that 40 you might be rubbing your tires are your suspension or brakes, but you go for like a 20 offset you might be rubbing on your fenders, does that help??

I'd just stick with the 215-35-18 if I were you.
