Anyone else thinking about the SportMax 002 16x8 et0 on a xB2? Is that crazy? It seems that if people are fitting 9.5" and wider wheels on the rear, that zero offset with much narrower tires would work. Opinions?

I'd really like to rock the 501 in a 16x8 et15 in our bolt pattern, but haven't seen em yet...

 

use this, it will help you out...

I don't think a zero offset would fly...

I can tell you a 7.5" rim with a 35-38 offset or a 8" rim with a 40 offset is really close to being flush with the wheel well.

I have a 7.5" rim with a 38 offset and I think if it stuck out much farther I would have crap all over the side of the car. ;-)
