Default ASA AR2 18x8

So I have finally decided I'm going with the ASA AR2s in 18x8 but does anyone other than tire-rack sell them or are they the best price wise as well?

I have AR1's on my M3 and I do think that tirerack has them the cheapest, I shopped around quite a bit and tireracks prices were close to my buddy's COST at his shop.

Ok so after almost a year I will FINALLY be ordering these wheels. They are 18x8 with a 40 offset. Does any one know if these will be flush with the body of the xb2 or would I need spacers?

You will sit about 1/4" in from perfectly flush in the front, and between 1/2"-3/4" in the rear. What drop are you on? What size tires will you be using?

Look at the pics of shirohako's white xB, he's on 8.5" wide wheels with +38 offset and Eibach Sportline springs (1.2"F/2.2"R drop) with 235/35 tires. He had 15mm rear spacers, and rubbed a little in back, so he dropped down to 10mm.

I'm on TRD springs for now. I might be going with k-sport or may just upgrade to TRD shocks, still debating.
I'll be using 225/40/18 Kuhmo ASX tires. So would they be more flush than the stock oem steelies I currently have?

Yes, the wheel lip on the ASA's will be out about 1" closer to the edge of the fenders than the stock steelies.

Thanks for the help CIONIDE! I'll be sure to post some pics for everyone once I get them.

Hopefully they look good on the xB2

You're welcome. They look good on every color except Naughty Blue.
