What do I need to know?
I am getting these rims in 18x7.5!!!!!
http://www.wheelpros.com/wheels/detail.cfm?id=511
I am planning to get 215/35/18 tires!
I am not worried about rubbing problems, cuz I haven't lowerd it yet.
My question, what I do about offsets? need spacers? Lemme know! (I read this whole thread but I figured I like to hear myquestion get answered directly!)

I am not an expert at mechanics or anything but. Here is a site to help define offsets:
http://wheeltool.com/info/offset.html
It is simply the measured distance between the hub mounting surface and the center line of the wheel
You do not need spacers unless you want them, mostly for looks and maybe improved handeling. It makes the wheel stick out from the car, more flush with the car..
Someone correct me if I am wrong

hey now! I like em! I am going more for a minitruckin style with my xB, not a racing style with tuner wheels and such! (not that I have a problem with that) But I'll build my xB and you build your's, hehe. Its different!
