Installed the DF210's last week and ordered my wheels today. 18x8 +40 front and 18x9.5 +40 rear. Going to run 225/40/18 on the front what size is recommended for the rear? Thinking 255/35/18 but that may be to wide?

What are your wheel specs, what are you dropped on, and do you ever rub?

tyrestretch.com and rimtuck.com are great resources for researching stretch. Certain brands run narrow and some run wide. Federal 595s and Yokohama S-Drives run a little on the wide side, and Achilles run narrow.

Gotcha, 18x8 +45 front and 18x8.5 +50 rear. Now I understand how you get away with 265/35 rear tires without any rubbing. Must look good, got any pics?

Below is how my xB sits now with the OZ Racing Monte carlo Wheels 18x8.5 +45 offset. I love how the car looks with these wheels, but out of the blue a good deal came along for a set of OZ Racing Ultraleggera's 18x8 with tires! So i jumped on it and wanted to share with my fellow xB2 owners. Funny part is the wheels are yet another set of OZ's and are the same color i have now. Also the weight of the wheels are night and day OZ Monte Carlo's are 32lbs no tires and the oz ultraleggera are only 18.5 no tires, wonder if it will improve gas millage?

Yes, especially city mileage with all the stop-n-go driving.

Here's your DIY for posting pics:

Go to www.photobucket.com and open up a free account. Upload pics to photobucket, then cut-n-paste the "IMG" link below each picture from the photobucket page to the ScionLife message posting window. You'll need to have the ScionLife site and PhotoBucket site both open so you can go back & forth between the two.

To add pictures to your original post, click on the edit button (scissors) in the top right corner of your post to open it up again; then go back to PhotoBucket and one at a time “copy” the IMG Code (it’s the bottom one) below the pictures that you uploaded to PhotoBucket and “paste” them in the body of your ScionLife posting. Make sure you hit return after each IMG code you “paste”, so that the pictures appear vertically.
If you’re adding pictures to a new thread or posting, go to PhotoBucket and one at a time “copy” the IMG Code below the pictures that you uploaded to PhotoBucket and “paste” them in the body of your ScionLife posting.

That's it!
