It worked. I mounted a set of 215 40 18's on a set of 18x8 Axis wheels. Oh yeah that was with a 42 offfset and im runnin on Tanabe 210's. This was accomplished without the use of spacers. The ride is not much worse than it was with the stock rubbers. I was pleasently surprised that there was no rubbin. I will post pics later this afternoon.

i bet it rides alot smoother than the 35's i'm runnin on :?

Nice, I guess I'll have to get rid of my 35's and get a set of 40's then. I'm running a 45mm offset with 15mm H&R spacers on mine. I also have the same springs that you have.

thats 30et you might be cutting close with 40 series tires :shock:

So if I wanted to run that same tire (215/40/18) on a stock (non-lowered) Xb what offset wheel would I want to shoot for (I don't want to use spacers if possible)?? How far off will the speedo be with a 1" taller wheel/tire combo? Thanks

offset of 35 would be nice

any pics yet?
