I have a 2005 scion xb rs02 and was thinking about putting some staggered 18x8 et40 with a 90mm Lip on it (I want the rim and tire to be flush with the rear of the car)also what would be the best and bigest profile tire to put on it? Will I have to do more than just roll my fenders? By the way I have a 2in drop with eibach springs. Here is a link of the rims:

roll the rear fenders, with the 90mm lip, you should be able to tuck them perfectly, maybe geta 5mm spacer... i have the 120mm lip in back, and they are totally flush... and would tuck completely if i had camber shims. i am also lowered, not a issue otherwise.. up front they will be perfect... if you are lowered, you want a 35 series tire lest you want to rub... 40 series is too big if you are dropped... other then that i love them to death... they make my groin tingle when i look at them... if you want them totally flush with the rear fenders get the 120mm lip in back, and camber shims...

Thats good advise!120 are nice but proababyl too wide for me I might put bags in later. Would you know if I got a 40 profile tire how far would I need to stretch it for it not to rub on a 90mm I was thinking about 215/40/18. Does that sound right? BTW nice ride!

Tire stretching is best done on a 15" wheel not 18". There isn't enough sidewall for it to work right and still be safe.

NP Omar. Just update us with whatever you end up doing. Thanks

if you rock the 90 out back, about 12mm of space will be pretty flush. That is what I have, and when i have enough weight, the back tire squeaks the fender a little...I plan on rolling the fenders and doing a little more space...
