Cause I am not ever dropping my Babe, because of the Streets of Boston not worth it at all. But I want to know can I get more MEAT for tires. If so please let me know what is that size so I can order some ASAP.

Welcome to the world of 20" wheels.

What is the width and offset of your wheels? Then I can tell you what size tires you can go up to if you are at stock ride height, and don't lower it.

You don't say what size or offset the wheels are, but 225/40-18 is the most common size 18" tire for the xB2. It has almost the same outside diameter as the OEM 205/55-16 tire.

I just took delivery of my 2011 RS 8.

I would like to run 18x8" or 18x8.5" wheels with a 45 offset and 235/40-18 Yokahama AVID ENVigor tires.

How about a 40 offset?

I don't want the tire close to the fender edge.

And I don't want them to rub.

Will they fit?

Cionide?

18x8 +45 with 235/40-18 should be fine on just about anything you lower it with.

I'm running 18x8 with +25 offset, 215/40R18 on Eibach Sportlines... No rubbing, no fender rolling. Just clean sweet flushness... Just thought you'd like a photo reference.
