I have a 2008 xB RS 5 and I have been looking around for a nice set of wheels.
I really like the XXR 518s, but I noticed the offset on them are +48, but I don't if the offset will be a problem.
Can you guys let me know if I am able to use those on my xB?

I'm mainly looking for 18s in black/flat black and I'm opened to suggestions.

Thanks in advance.

 

+ 48 is a pretty weak offset as long as the wheels arent like 18x12 lol I think you should be fine.

 

I have +48mm on my 18s for my B, its lame but it doesnt cause problems.

I just got some spacers, haven't put them on yet since I changed back to my steelies, but you won't run into any issues at all other than your stance will still be kinda stock. It doesnt look bad, but if you're looking for a crazy aggressive stance, you might wanna keep lookin around or buy some spacers!

my wheels are 18x8 btw.

 

Thanks guys for the information.
The wheels I'm looking into come in either 7 or 8.5 inches wide.

I would like to have a more aggressive stance, would that require a higher offset and/or wider wheels?
I'm sorry if these are basic questions, but I don't know much about this stuff and am still trying to figure it all out.

 

At a +48 offset the 7s are going to be sunken some on the front and more on the rear. With the 8.5s you should be pretty much flush up front with a little tuck in the rear. A set of 8 or 10mm spacers would bring the rear flush as well. I've got 18x8 with a +40 and the front is really close to flush. I've cambered it in for clearence when I air out. On the rear a 15mm spacers brings it completely flush but I couldn't air ot or ride low without rubbing so i took them off and it's got a nice tuck and let's me air out.

 

I understand now. Thank you.
I think I need to look for a 35-40 offset instead of 48.
The search continues.

 

look for zero offset ;D, haha jk jk there are a few here running 0 offset though if i get some rpf1's im getting them in 25-30 offset 18x8.5 might keep em non staggered so we can rotate the tires.
