seems like a good deal. new those things would be just over $2,000 w/o tires. do yourself a favor and get a good set of spacers if you are indeed going to use them (if at all possible you'd like to stay away from using them but if you have no choice...). Project Kics or H&R make really good ones that already come with studs attached.

are the Project Kics and H&R spacers better than OTG hub spacers? that's what i was planning to buy.

this seems too good to be true...i wonder if they are all F'ed up. he says they are in brand new condition. imma go check em out this week he lives like 15 mins away from my house.

Im running the H&R 15mm spacer and a OTG spacer shim on my box. I love the H&Rs. They come with longer wheel studs so no worries there and they are hubcentric so again...nothing to worry about.

Actually 40-42 is the proper offset for an xB.
They look sweet and the price is right if you want 16 inchers. Go 4 it.

so, the OTG hub spacers aren't really needed right ? they will just improve the looks to make it flush with the front wheels?

I have to remove my OTG spacers because I have 215/45/17s and 40mm offset rims and they rub when I have my Hotchkis springs on. Mostly only when I hit a deep dip in the road. I'm going to remove my OTGs in the spring when the lowering springs go back on. There isn't THAT much difference.

If you stick to 205/45 or 215/40/17 tires you should have no rubbing issues with the OTGs. I also have the softer Monroe shocks out back that allow more upward movement when I hit bumps. They didn't rub till I added the new shocks. I like the better ride more than the look of the spacers.

40-42 is the proper offset when stock is 38? for best results, get as close to stock offsets as you can. As I've said before, why buy rims that need more parts to make them look and fit right? then you spend more money that you can use for something else. Altho it would be the only box i've seen on CE28's.
