Default Wheel width/offset question

Im trying to figure out if a set of wheels would fit on a 08 xB. They are 19x9.5
with +25 offset and rears are 19x10 +20 offset. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

No way... won't work. Not by a longshot. The fronts need to be more around 8.5" wide w/ an offset of at least 35mm or higher.

One more time:

Here's the tire & wheel calculator:

Keep in mind that the stock tires are 205/55x16" with +45 offset

I vote for a sticky of stock wheel size and what size wheels/widths/offsets will work...

I know on the other forums there's sticky'd info.

The big benefit of checking the calculator yourself is that in addition to knowing if a particular wheel should work or not, is that you also find out how it will actually change (how much more or less it will change in distance from the fender lip, how the overall diameter will change, how much the speedo will be off).

I don't mind the Sticky idea, but I think it should also include the calculator link.

Here is some width and offset stats from our fittment guide. Anything that falls outside the offset ranges will have a chance of rubbing. As a lot of you will want widths and offsets outside these ranges ask your fellow SL members for tips on getting them to fit.
WIDTH , OFFSET , TIRE WIDTH SUG.
6.0 , +14/+65 , 195
6.5 , +20/+65 , 195/205
7.0 , +26/+65 , 205/215
7.5 , +33/+60 , 215/225
8.0 , +39/+54 , 225/235
8.5 , +45/+47 , 235

***Also remember that every wheel has a different x-factor. (x-factor is the curve, or contour, of the back of the spoke) X-Factor's can interfere with break caliper components so whenever you put a new wheel on your car always, always test fit it first to make sure there is no clearance issues.
