Hello.

OK. I've been searching around this forum for a few weeks now trying to get a better understanding about fitting a set of staggered wheels on the xB2. I'll be putting on a mild drop spring set Tanabe NF210 (1.0"F/1.7"R) and going with a staggered wheel set from TSW .

From what I'v been gathering, running a setup like the following should not be problem:

Wheel
Front: 18x8 ET40
Rear: 18x9.5 ET40

Tire
Font: 235/40ZR18
Rear: 265/35ZR18

Can anybody please confirm this??

I do not want to roll the fenders and definatley do not want any rubbing issues of any kind.

Thank you for your help.

Shouldn't be a problem at all, unless you pack it with 4 huge adults or hit some vicious bumps.

Do it, and then post pictures on the Official Tanabe NF210 thread.

i'll go with 255 for the rear just to be safe

Thanks guys.

I found the diameter sizes kind of interesting....

205/55/16 = 24.9" dia. (Stock tire)

Front: 235/40/18 = 25.4" dia. (2.1% diff from stock)
Front: 225/40/18 = 25.1" dia. (0.8% diff from stock)

Rear: 265/35/18 = 25.3" dia.
Rear: 255/35/18 = 25.0" dia.

Also the 2.1% difference in the front would equal the following on the speedometer: 60mph = 61.3mph (actual)

Just sharing some info...

Let me know if anyon else has more info about this 18" stagger fitment. Thanks

I would run 225/40 rear and 215/40 front personally, and run 30-35 offset wheels if possible. Less tire + more poke = hotness.
