Paging Dr. Cionide...
16x8 +30
16x9 +41
Will it fit?
What tire size?
I'm guessing 225/50 r16....
Looking for a little stretch...

NF210....
It's down to this set of BBS RS
or
5Zigen FN01RC
17x8 +35 at all 4 corners
or 17x9 +43 at all 4 corners...
Thanks in advance for the professional advice!

If you're not going to put on rear spacers to get the rears flush with the fronts, then you can step up to 215/55-16 front and 235/50-16 rear tires.
Tire size will depend on whether or not you want to add spacers to flush out the rears. I wouldn't go with the 17x9 up front, so I would say 17x8 +35 if you like these wheels better than the 16's.
Man, you're a wealth of fitment info!!!
On to the 17's....
What tire size for the 17x8's with a little stretch?
215/45r17?
I can also get the 17x9's in +35 offset....
At this point i'm leaning towards the 17's 'cause i can get either set for roughly the same price...

If you stick with the 17x8 +35 then 215/45-17 tires will give you the stretch you want, and still allow you to add rear spacers to bring them out to closer match the fronts for how close to flush they are with the fenders. On DF springs, with this tire & wheel combo, I wouldn't go with any more than 10mm spacers.
17x9 +35 would poke even more up front than +43, and they'll also weigh more than 17x8. I still say pass on these if your xB is a daily driver.

Thanks again Cionide!
