Default Staggered Rims

Im looking to buy some staggered rims for the xB. Something i can put on without cutting like 18x7 in front and 18x8.5 in rear. Preferably in chrome...

Any suggestions? Any recommendations of places to look?

acutally as wered as this sound put the wider rims on the front. i forgot which magazine wrote this but they posted a whole article on bigger rims in the front improves handling at higher speed in fwd and awd cars. but it is just a suggestion

its true cause your car is fwd so they do pretty much all the work and carry a much larger part of the weight than the rears so they could use the extra traction.

yeah i actually read it in a magazine.. i think it was an issue of modified mag earlier this year.. i cant remember it mentioned something about having a staggered fitment for fwd and awd vehicles.. maybe the fwd might have some effect but i know for sure.. on a awd.. no chance.. your just hurting ur transmission.. different size tires dont match up against the transfer case
