I just bought my first xB on Saturday! I was wondering what wheel size I should get. I'm not sure what fits and what looks good.
Please post pictures with size and pricing. It would help a lot! Oh yeah I forgot! That's with Lowering Springs.

Thanks!

 

Start searching.

 

Yeah, there are literally a thousand threads on here about wheel fitment. Try the search button. Also, you need to determine how you want it to sit. Do you want to be agreesive? Do you want flush? Or are you happy with stock fitment? Plus, figure out a budget. Wheels can be had from anywhere between $250 set of 4 to $4000. Up to you.

this is the look im going for. How do I get my wheels sticking out that far?

 

Lots of work and searching.

 

Im pretty much going for that wide body with this fender flares. Im just not sure what off set I need or if its just spacers I need. I heard having wider tires helps fill in the fender flares

 

Be prepared for rubbing issues. You will need 0 offset to start... and to stick out past the flares like that, you may need 15mm spacers. You will need to be careful as you may run into quite a few problems finishing out the project. Create a work log and post up your findings though... you'd be surprised how much information is already available for that look.

 

You will need custom offsets. With that comes high price. +0 offset XXR/Sportmax or whatever they are called this week won't get you that poke, they barely go past flush. I am running 15x9 -5 front and 15x10 -15 rear to get poke like that. The wheels in that picture are probably close to the same. Mine don't appear as much in the rear because I have -5 camber. If you keep the zero camber, you will plke more. The more negative the offset, the further the poke. And the wider the wheel, the more poke as well.

Work, BBS, and SSR are about your best bets for custom offsets. Axis has a set out too, don't remember what they are called, that poke like hell too, but they are a set offset, you can't custom order. My Works right now are running for $650 a wheel. Just to give you and idea.

YOu could in essence, run less less offset and spacers, but you will lose lip depth doing that. If you want a nice fat lip, do it with offset.

And you will definitely need air suspension.

If you are on a budget, try www.rbwheels.com or www.memoryfab.com. They have very nice used wheels that will fit the way you want. For a little more, they will refinish or rebuild them to the be like new and to the offsets you like.
