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.
