Default Quick Offest Question

I was looking at a set of wheels that are 19x8 42 offset and was wondering about the fit. As far as tire choice I was planning on running a 235/35 setup. Will these fit, and what kind of spacers would I have to run if any to flush the out with the fender? Thanks for the help in advance!

19x8 +42 with 235/35 tires will all fit fine. Fronts will be almost flush.

Unfortunately, the rear axle on our xB's is offset about 1/4" toward the driver side. To get the rears to match the fronts on both sides will require a 15mm spacer on the driver side, and a 20mm spacer on the passenger side. This can get a little expensive, since all the spacers I have seen come in pairs. Maybe you can find somebody that wants spacers also, so that you can buy a set of each and split them with somebody else, so that you each get one 15mm spacer & one 20mm spacer.

The other option would be to just get a set of 15mm spacers, and know that the right rear will not be quite as flush as the other three wheels. We're only talking about a little under 1/4", so unless you point it out, I don't think anybody would notice.

Darksides7 is on 19x8 +40 offset with 235/35 tires and 15mm rear spacers. With +42 offset, your wheels would sit back 1/12" (almost nothing) from the fender lip compared to his. Here's his thread to see what it looks like:

Ok, I've been reading a LOT of back and forth on this one so I figured I would ask one more time. Staggered setup: 19x8 +35 front 19x9 +35 rear. Car will have NF210 springs (unless stiffer springs would elevate any rub if thats the case or really necessary). What size tires make it work the best?

To make sure no rubbing with the NF springs; 225/35 fronts & 245/35 rears.
