Default Will this wheel size fit my 06 xB?

I've looked everywhere to see if a 17x8.25 size wheel with 19 mm offset will fit my 1st Gen.

Couldn't find it so that's why i made this thread haha.

I'm looking at XXR 550 17x8.25, 19 mm offset, 4x100.
I'm really hoping they are gonna fit. Not sure what tire size either.
Not the best with this kind of stuff.

Does anyone know if it will fit. If you know please let me know or if you can help me figure it out it would be greatly appreciated.

p.s. I would prefer to not do any modification like spacers or rolling my fenders. I probably will if i have to though.

Thanks in advance.

I run a 17x8 XXR 006 wheel on my xB and they have an offset of 25mm...they clear just fine with a 215/40 tire. In fact, I'm going to be adding about 20-22mm in spacers to push them out a bit more and they'll still clear the fender just fine.

With your 17x8.25 you've got an additional 6.7mm of total wheel width...with a 19mm offset the lip of your wheel is going to end-up about 2.5mm farther in from the fender than the wheels I use.

I'd say you're going to be fine...I'd check the back side but I don't think you'll have any clearance issues back there and, worst case, you could run a 5mm spacer on the wheels but fender rolling definitely won't be necessary.

Tire size...the 215/40 matches the diameter of the stock wheels pretty well and I don't think you're going to want to go too much wider.

This web site has a handy dandy calculator to allow you to try just about any combination of size, offset, etc.:
