what do you think of these 17x7 on a thundercloud xb

 

or these 17x7.5

 

none of the above. get a wheel that fits right and doesnt have the 17x7 or 17x7.5 40 offset. theres nothing worse than an ill-fitting wheel combo. sorry but im not a fan of either

harsh buzz kill man

 

hmm, that 2nd's one look aight. but u can get better.

 

wow nobody likes these? I guess I just have bad taste

 

What's your price range Barry? I can help you look.

But ultimately you just need to pick some that you like. :D

 

I might actually go with those spinouts or one of the other poison series rims

 

^Those are the rims Roger has on his xA, they look great.

 

i emailed them so hopefully they will contact me soon

 

I think sexy was just concerned about the 40 offset...the rears will be more inward and you may not like the look of it.

 

so this may sound juvenile but how can I correct for this if I would get the 40 offset

 

Spacers.

OTG ( www.onetongarage.com ) sells some rear spacer shim that mount behind the brakes that work great to bring out the rear tires to match the fronts. You still might need spacers for all for tires with a 40 offset though. But the OTG spacers are a must for pretty much any xB or xA owner.

 

I checked them out at their site and saw the how to are they as easy to hook up as they say also have they given you any problems?

 

^^The first two are nasty, but Spinouts are hot as hell, esp. in 18's on the xB.
The OTG shims are great, not to hard to put on and make a huge difference.

 

Is it a must like get them before I put the rims on or can I put the rims on then get the spacers a month or two down the road

 

You can get them later if you like, it's just easier to put them on together (and it looks better.....lol).

 

well I made up my mind (I think) and it looks like hopefully by the end of the week I will be ordering these 17x7 paid a little more than origanally wanted to but cant put a price on happiness.

so lets have it what do ya think of em I will put up pictures when there on

 

those seem nice

 

I like 'em.
