I like this type of wheels, http://www.performanceplustire.com/p...eed#prodAnchor , How wide I can go? (with DF springs)
They're actually available in the 5x114.3 bolt pattern, but only in 18x9 with +18 offset & 17x9 with -12 offset. These offsets push them WAY too far out past the fenders. Sorry, need to find another wheel.
To answer your topic question; 17x9 with +35 offset is the widest I've seen anybody pull off on the fronts with DF springs and no rubbing:

Find wheels you like & go from there; each wheel has it's own available offset, which will determine what kind of stretch might work.
There is no chart/table of sizes, offsets, and stretched tires that will work for each vehicle w/o rubbing.
When you look at pushing offsets and tires, it's all a matter of trial, error, and real life experience.
For example, I never would have thought that it would be possible to pull off 17x9 +35 offset wheels with DF springs, but it's been done...

youd be surprised to see how large of a wheel u can fit on these 2nd gen xbs without heavy modifications. mines are 20x8.5 all the way around, i would have gone 20x10 in the rear but I allowed too many people to talk me out of it and now i regret it more than anything. heres kind of a weird pic of mine. My pointer finger is at least 4 inches long and doesnt even cover the whole lip

it doesnt rub at all, even when completely turned to either direction. tires are only 30 series though. pretty thin but ride is still great. I know theres other guys on here with 10in wide in rear who dont have much issues, i think they just had to roll fenders and its all good
