Default 16X7, +37offset

Hello All,

New to the board, I was wondering if 16"x7 with a +37 offset would fit my 08 xb and look proper?

edit - I found the calculator that shows they will fit, just not sure if that offset would look good?

Cheers!

the stock stellies are 16x6.5 with +45 offset. the 16x7 rim would be farther out so it would look better.

Good luck

If you like wheels that stick out more? I think they look rediculous if they stick out.

The MB Weapons that you put on (17x8 with +42 offset) actually stick out more than the 16x7 with +37 offset he is talking about. Your extra inch of wheel width more than makes up for the 5mm difference in offset between your Weapons and the proposed 16x7's.

The 16x7 with +37 offset will stick out about 1/3" more than stock and work great, other than being too small in diameter IMO. The 16" diameter is the part that I don't think will look proper.

I think 16s look fine on the new xB. Looks like doo-doo butter if you're not dropped, though.

I'm rolling on a staggered set of 16" Slipstreams (16x7+ 40 front, 16x8 +48 rear). They look fine, sit pretty flush and were easy on both my wallet and back.

I really really want to see your setup... Can you email me pics of your ride and rims?
