Im thinking 18x9 +20 offset all the way around. I already have my fenders rolled.
Will the wheel fit and not rub my caliber/rotor?

Will that fit in the fender or will i have some poke outside of the fender?

Thanks for any info

First inquiry: will the wheel fit and not rub my caliper/rotor? The wheel shouldn't come close to the rotor, but depending on the wheel, it could hit the rotor but it's highly unlikely.

Second inquiry: will that fit (18x9 +20) in the fender or will I have some poke outside of the fender? It's relative to the fender work. I'm positive there will be some poke, but it's not going to be a ton.

I'd recommend a narrow 215/40R18 wrap like Achilles. You should be fine since you already have fender work.

+20 is going to be tough to fit especially in the front. For sure there will be some poke. Rear will be tight as well regardless of roll

Also, minimum tire width for a 9" wheel is a 235. Running anything narrower is not safe & a performance negative.

Rules of tire fitment. Never run out of spec tires & never add out of spec camber to make it fit

Thanks for the help man, would 18x9 +35 be any better?

meechindisbeech

Thanks for the knowledge. Would a 18x9 +35 be any better that the +20? Or is the 9in width in the front the issue?

MinusPrevious

There a many examples of form / function in this xB2 group. Im function / form!!!

For sure, the +35 would be a better fit than the +20 by far (15mm further inboard)
The 9" wide wheel limits your tire size to a range of 225 to 235 min.

As an example, I run a 235/45 up front on a 8" wide wheel, offset +38 & I am flushed out up front.

The rears have plenty of room

I also need help with this. Right now my wheels are 42 offset with 15mm spacers up front (hub centric, not just a plate).
I'm looking at getting some CCW style wheels 18x8 with 35mm offset. Tires I have are 235/35/18 and will fit nicely on the wheel.

Here's my problem, the first 2 or 3 threads on my front lugs have been cut off to accommodate the 15mm spacers.
Is it safe to run the wheels on the cut lugs if since the wheels won't fit with the spacers on?

How would an 18x9 -26 front and a 18x10 -20 fit on the xB?

Nope.

For reference here is one of my sets

18x9 +6 Front




18x10 +15 Rear



Both had 1.25" of poke

The specs you posted will be another 1.25-1.5" further out.

Now if those number were supposed to be +26 and +20 then you'll have about an inch of poke in the rear and 3/4" in the front.

No. Replace the studs with extended units.
As Greg already stated, if they're in the negatives, there's no way in hell they'll fit without flares and cutting up your car.

Yeah I meant plus not minus. I recall some one on here tried 18x10 on the front. I searched but had a hard time locating the posting. As I continue my search for new wheels.

xseveredveganx

18x9 +26 and 18x10 +20 can fit with fender work and some suspension adjustments.
You could get away with a narrow 225/40R18 or a wide 215/45R18.
