It's just my .02 but I think the contrast of the black wheels against the ARM color looks great combined with the tinted windows and black window trim. You might try photochopping the wheels charcoal (or asking somebody else if you're not PS literate, which I'm not either) to see if they end up blending in with the body color too much.

215/40R18's with rolled and pulled rear fenders should do the trick.

the only thing I don't like is the red pin stripe. The black looks awesome though.

I think you're right CIONIDE. The more I look at it, I like the black. I'm still undecided as far as the bigger rear tires go. I guess the thing I don't like about the Toyo's that are on the front, is the rim guard is pretty big and makes the tire have a weird sidewall. I like a more flat/squared sidewall. And, as many have said CIONIDE, Thanks for all your help on fitment and springs.

Thanks Phobic, Yeah the red bugs me at times. I've been looking for a black close enough to the wheel finish to paint them.

That thought has crossed my mind several times. I'm just not a fan of red though. Only reason I went with these wheels was because I picked them up for $400 brand new. I just have to come up with the best way to paint the stripe and have it look good.

My xb is at stock ride height but I put on a friend's 18x9.5 with a +25 offset and had TONS of room. (around 4-5" of wheel gap.) I drove around the parking lot with no scrubbing or rubbing. The tire was a streched 225/40/18. I will be looking into this type of set up when I have $$$. Here are some pics.
