17" wheels, what offset?
which offset would be best to get the wheels flush with the fenders on either of these wheels:
http://www.rotawheels.com/grid.php Size = 17x7.5
http://www.rotawheels.com/boost.php Size = 17x8
http://www.rotawheels.com/rev.php Size = 17x8
http://www.rotawheels.com/slipstream.php Size = 17x8
http://www.wheelfire.com/scontent/Wh...ption=standard Size = 17x7
or any other wheel for that matter. i'll be dropped on NF210's
thanks in advance

For the grids +35, but may run with the NF210's. +45 is safe.
For the Boosts, the 17x8 may be too aggressive with +35 and +48 could hit the struts. The 17x7.5 is the safer choice.
Same for rhe Rev's (see Boost's).
The Slipstreams give you the better option. 17x8 +40.
I hope this helps.

For the Grids / Boosts / Rev, if i run 17x7.5 with +45 do you think my wheel will sit flush with the fender or will i need to space it out? i think the fronts may be close to flush but have a feeling the rears will need to be spaced.
thanks in advance

Originally I had the s2k fitment version, but did some further fitting to see what works.
I've found that a 245/40/17 on a 17x8 + 48 fits all around on my drop.
Living in Ohio, our roads suck...but no rubbing/scraping and the wheels/tires turn lock/lock.
This test was on a very squared sidewall tire. BFG G-Force Sports.

little_mikey, did you ever buy wheels?
I can answer your questions, but to cover all 5 wheels would take a while, and be a lot of info. It would help to know which wheels you actually like the best.
One thing I will point out is that the rears sit in a little from the fronts, and the rear axle is offset a little bit toward the driver side of the xB. For any given front wheels, to make the same size rears (and same offset) match flush with the front wheels and fenders you want to add a 20mm spacer to the rear passenger side and a 15mm spacer to the driver side.
