18x8.5 too big for my 2" lowered XB? should i go with the 18x7 instead?

8.5 is huge. i have 19x8 and needed a rear spacer and the front rubs when i corner. id say try to find something around 7.5, thats ideal.

You can easily get away with a 7" or 7.5" width on an 18" wheel. Anything wider will definitely rub. Be careful with the 7.5"s too, make sure you have the right offset. I had a problem today with my customer's xB, we have to get 1/2" spacers now with a 7.5" width wheel.

thank you so much for your post. i woulda followed the "bigger is better" american style of things, am damn glad i didnt :lol:

im running 18x7.5 45mm offset front 30mm offset rear...no rubbing...lowered on tein s techs

wider is always better.. hey if it rubs its just gangsta..

hahaha 18x8 should fit good as well.

i do believe people can run 18x8.5 no problem, maybe u just gotta roll the fender?
