Default what is the ideal offset for a 17x7 wheel for a xb

i have read the faq and some post on this and im more confused then when i started...I am looking for the front offset and the rear offset...i would like both rims to come out and sit even with the edge of the fenders

if a 17x7 ins't a good size to use on the rears to achive the look i want...should i use a 17x7 ??offset in the front and a 17x7.5 ??offset in the rear

if im going at this all wrong what set up would you recommend for me to achive the look i want

I'll tell you right now that 17x7 +25mm offset in the front will be close, but will not be *perfectly* flush. And a 17x7 +25mm offset in the rear will definitely be tucked. A staggered setup with wider wheels and lower offsets will get you in the ballpark.

Peace,

Here's a pic so you can see for yourself how the 17x7 +25mm offset looks on an xB. Notice how the front is pretty close, but the rear is definitely tucked.



As far as finding pics go... Van gets credit for the Noblesse on 19's. I seem to find most of my pics when looking for JDM parts.

Peace,

ET explanation:


www.value-caraudio.com seems to be able to get just about anything. Try him before you send a zillion emails with no response directly to a Japanese company that will likely only sell to dealers. Takakaira.com is a japanese retailer that will ship to individuals in the U.S.
