Anyone know if a 17x9 +20 with 225/35r17 will fit an xB? Will it stick out past the fenders? If so How far?

that depends on the disc. My 17x9 +20 O-disc will hang out from the fender on the front and back. More so on the front. Tough question to answer cuz different wheels designs do different things when they are built and installed on a car. I have seen guys with "lower" offsets the mine and have even more of a strange fitment. For example, I pull off a deep rim with a +20 vs. a +12 or 9 or whatever it was. but it was low. Front wheels stuck out further than mine too. It's all about the math, disc design(I'm not gonna explain yet again), offset and width.

The wheels I'm looking at are either Falken Hanabi in a 17x9 et20 or the Sportmax 962 in a 17x9 et35 with Falken 225/35r17. Will either of these fit and what mods will I need to do?

if its the sprotmax I think it is, they will hang out really far on the front. too much I think. not sure about the Falken Hanabi. better see if anyone is using them.

I'm confused how the disk type will affect fender and suspension clearance. My understanding is that the disk type only affects caliper clearance as it has to do with the shape of the center disk. Wheel width, offset and tire size should be the only thing that affects fender and suspension clearance. Unless I'm completely wrong on what disk type is a 17x9 et 20 should have the mounting flange spaced 20mm forward of the wheel centerline no matter what the disk type is. Is this not correct?

they'll tuck in the back stick out in the front. There are a few guys running these rims. they wil know what is best

i havent seen 17x9 in 20 offset. what you can do is get them custom made but they do sell em in 17x9.

my setup on my xb is 17x7 in front and 17x9 in the rear with otg spacer shims and spacer and its flush.

different discs affect dish size......

if you have a 17X9 +20 high disk and a 17X9 +20 super lo disk, it will fit the same, just the dish will be different.

yea im sorry i couldnt tell you i havnt lowered my car yet.

I thought the disc thing was a Work Wheels thing only?

nope, Rays and other companies use different style face disks as well. they're just not called the same thing (for example Rays refers to them as "A", "B", "C" disk faces). mainly used for cars that are equipped with larger/oversized/unusual sized brake calipers/drum.
