Default anyone running 17 x 7.5 with offset of 42 on their xb?

Thats the size of the axis reverb and i want to get them but i hear the rear wheels rub. Anyone running the same wheel size on their xb? How is it?

Mine is the same except they are a +40 offset. A +42 offset will be very close to the rear trailing arm, if not rubbing. The simple and best solution is to go to www.onetongarage.com and get a set of the rear spacer shims. That will push the rears out and eliminate rubbing concerns, plus it gets the rear wheels out towards the fenders and makes it look more even with the fronts.

When I had my Buddy Clubs on I originally used 3mm rings to keep the tires from rubbing, but the best solution is the One Ton Garage rear shims.

I have 17x7.5s and am running a 3MM spacer in the front. Im running the shims in the rear. The rubbing i had was minimal, considering i have 45 series tires. Just some simple cutting of the plastic wheel well and taadaaa all done.
