ha all, i just put my xa down 2 in. and im looking to get rims. ive looked at the buyers guide and alot of posts and see alot of info on tc and ab, not so much for xa. i dont know if i just over looked it or sometihng. anyway, id like to put 18s on with a 215 40 18 with a 42mm offset. will this work? if not what would be a good set up? id like to fill the gap as much as i can with out rolling the finders. - ryan

 

hmmm, there is no one out there with this set-up or 18s on there xa?

 

how wide is the rim? maybe 5 mm spacer for front. It will be fine.

 

sorry about that, the set up is 18x7.5 42mm offset w/ 225 40 18. thanks for the help.-ryan

 

7.5 is no problem. If you want it to look flush, I would suggest 5mm spacers all the way around, or even 10mm in the rear.

 

kool, ill take a look at that. is there any set-up that would look better?-ryan

 

what do you mean look better?

 

fill the gap any better

 

I have a 18x7.5 with a 42mm offset and a 215/35/18 tire
with the OTG 10mm spacer in the rear. I also have about a 2 inch drop. It doesnt rub in the front at all.It you want it to be more flush with the outside of the body you will need to go with more offset on the rims!

 

to fill the gap better, either go lower, or run larger sidewall tires but that will affect your speedometer reading and make the overall height of the car a little higher.

 

so, if i didnt wont to use any spacers would i need a 52mm off-set or a 32mm off-set?-ryan

 

32 offset. Adding spacers makes your offset on the wheel lower.

 

kool, thank you-ryan
