Default Need help on new aggresive wheel setup!

I am rebuliding my box from the ground up. I want a really aggresive wheels setup and a good size lip in front and a real deep lip on the rear. Im going with Work Euroline DH or FS's in 18's. I dont know much about offset so I am looking for help. What does everyone recommend?

I have staggered 18's, 8" in the front 9" in the rear. They are made to fit the xA/xB perfectly. I would say start from there. With Work you can really play with the offsets to get more or less lip. I have seen Euroline DH's with a Step lip as well

If your getting them new than you even have more options but your gonna pay ALLOT more than if you look for a nice used set.

Let me know and I will find out the offsets for my wheels. I just cant remember right now. I think it's like 22 20 or something.

Well i dont know how wide I want to go but I know I want a nice big lip in the rear. I am going to buy them new. I was considering 18" x 8.5" +25 Offset (Front)
18" x 8.5" +20 Offset (Rear), I saw an xb on clubxb.com earlier and i like the stance but, i am trying to push the limit.

^ Thats weak!

If you wanna go aggressive on a stock bodied xB and a lil camber for the rear, do 18x8.5 +18 and 18x9.5 +18 Low disk all around and you might need a lil spacer for the front to clear caliper.

Trust Matty on this. His car is always dope. Plus, I think he has had like 20 sets of wheels, is that close Matty?

Anyway, his suggestion would be sick on stock body, even go to +10 with about -3 camber in the rear for a little more lip. If you want more lip and more aggression, You could go to +0 on the rear in a 9.5 wide, but would need a serious pull and roll on the fenders and -5 or better camber. I wouldn't suggest flares with 18's, you have to do a lot of metal cutting to get them to tuck in the flares, but if you are willing to chop some fenders and run flares, you can go even more aggressive. I am running 9" on the front at -5 and 10" in the rear at -15. Front lip is about 4.5" and rear lip is 7". But, without flares, and camber in the rear, they stick out past the fenders by a good 3-4"

I like what you said. I dont want to do fender flares. I am putting on a kenstyle lip kit that I have had for a while and never put on. Its not going to be a daily, it use to be but, it has been in storage since november of last year. Its stripped down and want to make it better then before.

Not sure what picture matty was trying to post but he would be the guy to listen to on wheels. Her is a Picture that might help you deside. I think his wheel specs are what matty told you to do but im not sure, someone correct me if i am wrong.
