Default wheel size question

I'm sure this question has been asked before but I couldn't dig anything up with the search tool.

I am interested in getting 18 inch rims and all the manufacturers seem to suggest 18x7 for the xb. The rims that I REALLY want only come in 18x7.5. Will these fit without any rubbing? I am also planning on getting a 1.5 inch drop.

thanks

thanks for that.

I noticed that one person commented they had some rubbing with the 18x7.5 up front at full lock. Anyone else expeience that with these size wheels? Specifically, the wheel I want is the Katana vr-5.

thanks

it really depends on the offset you are using and how much you are lowered. i had no problems with mine with a 42 offset and lowered on goldlines and tein s-techs
