hello,
i checked the wheel faq but could not really find my situation. i have a set of wheels 15X6.5 with a 45 offset. if they were on 205/55/15 tires would they have any issues with rubbing and what not on an xB? would i possibly need sapcers? the main reason i'm wondering is due to the 45 offset. any info anyone has would be greatly appreciated. thanks,

You will definitely need spacers in the rear. I am not sure about the front. I would probably run at least a 5mm in the front just to be safe and a set of OTG 10mm hub spacers in the rear. Even then, the rear will probably be pretty close, if not still an issue.

 

thank you for the reply,
why do you think i'd have issues? because of the offset or because of the wider tires? would sticking with 195s possibly fix it? thanks again,

Sorry, I was mistaken. Your wheels should work fine. There will be about 3/4" less clearance on the backside of the wheel and 1/4" less on the front side. This will should actually work ok, even with the wider tires. You may still want to run rear spacers just to kick the back wheels out a little closer to the outside of the vehicle.
