Hi All,
Just joined the club!
Which offset , 38 or 45 ? My car is lowered with Eibach Sportlines . Also need help
choosing correct tires. I see some people running 225 / 35's and some 235 / 35's.
I think for my rim size a 235 would be a better choice because the 225's would look
"stretched" . But if i do the 235's will I be sticking out past the fender in the front ?
I'm so confused !!!! I guess it goes with saying I'll also have to pick up some
spacers for the rear wheels to "flush " out the fenders. What size spacers do you
recommend ? Thanks for all your help !

Personally, I'd go with the 45 offset wheels, 235/35 tires, and 10mm spacers on the rear. Great look, and a little more conservative when it comes to potential rubbing.
If you're trying to be really flush, then you should be able to go with the 38 offset wheels & 235/35 tires, but because you will be so flush with the front fenders, it will become much more critical to have the rear spacers a very specific size. This will be more of a PITA since the rear axle is offset a little toward the driver side of the xB. I can't remember who, but somebody on this forum shaved 5mm off of their driver side spacer so that the left and right side rear wheels would both be flush.
