The Mazda 6's and some Subaru's have insanely high offsets in the high 40s and low 50s.


I sound like a weatherman.

What you really have to look at is how they spec their wheels.

They list every single option they have in each category. But they do not list which combination of those options they actually manufacture. These are cheap cast wheels, so you can bet that those options are very limited.

I'd be willing to bet that the only width you can get a +50 offset in would be the 10". There is also no guarantee based on their page that you can even get that wheel in a 4x100.

Your best bet is to talk to a reseller to find what spec they have to fit and xB. If they have 18x8 +35 or +40 in 4x100 you should be good to go.

i have these wheels. i got them from a friend who got them on ebay they were listed as a +40, but they are a +38. either way they are a decent heavy cheap wheel. i am getting some new wheels here in the next month mainly because i need more of a lip... good luck with them!
