Default wheel fitment and which do you like more?


Forte F15 Miami

or


Giovanna Ararat

or


Gianelle V-5

now as for fitment, i just baught a set of goldline 2" dropsprings, im curious as to what i can fit under the box with a 2" drop? 18's 19's 20's? and what is the deepest you can go? 7.5, 8, 8.5, 9? without modification cutting or rolling fenders. i want minimal wheel gap without modifying.

also the site i snagged the pictures from says offset of 35-42mm which would be flush with the stock fenders?

thanks for info and help.

1 is hideous, 2 is mildly OK, and 3 is OK. None are great.

I think it's tight if you're going for a more gangsta look and not tuner, wheel 3 is awesome.

you can do a 18x8.5 in the rear with a 35 offset easy, the front you can do teh same but not sure if it will hit when you turn, probably not though. the second and third rim are sick, the 1'st i dont really like, i like the polished lip thats why.

I would have to see them on or at least next to the XB to tell how they would look but from just the pics I would probably say 3 but Ive seen better rims out there.

Of all those 3, I like #2.

I don't really like the others but #2 is impressive looking. I like it a lot. That's just my opinion.

For my taste they are all to frilly/fancy, but if I had to pick one, it would be #2.

We each have our own taste, my box wears as close to mine as I can find, yours should wear what YOU like.
