The face of the wheel lips will be out 2.2" more, compared to the stock steelies.

You might be able to get away with it by really stretching the tires, but I don't recommend it.

bbscionxb 09-02-2008 07:41 AM

im going to be running a 18x8 with 32 offset and i will have to do a little tire stretch and some fender pulling to make it perfect in the front. The rear will tuck in pretty well with just some stretch.

no stretch needed on the rear. 225 or 235/40 will clear just fine. the front will rub on a 225 if you're dropped. don't worry too much about stretching the tire. a very light fender roll will do the trick. i'm on df's with this set up and rarely rub unless i have the car loaded and hit a dip.

im dropped on DFs so im going to be doing some fender massaging so i dont get any rub.

Zsanz 09-11-2008 03:33 AM

serious stretch. if the fenders were rolled out i think id like it

AEMotoring 09-24-2008 08:24 AM

anymore of that blackberry XB in the pics? whos the owner?

MaxBoost925 09-24-2008 08:51 AM

Lol you guys are scared of low offset.

If it don't rub, it don't fit.

That's an 18x10 btw.

18x8.5 is much much narrower.

those look cool

i am looking at XXR 513 18x8.5f and 18x9.5r @ 25 offset. much lower offset then yours, but the rears are .5" narrower.

The rears will stick out about the same as MaxBoost. The 1/2" narrower width is split between the back & front of the wheel, so the narrower width would pull the face of the wheel back about 1/4". The 7mm lower offset will then push the wheel back out just over 1/4"... net result is about the same appearance.

The 18x8.5 +25 front wheels will stick out past the front fenders about 1/2" also, about the same look as the rear wheels.
