Default 18 x 7.5 with 44 offset

Will this fit on my xB? I have found a really good deal and am wondering. I'm most likely either going to get the spy springs or the tanabe ones. Will this set-up fit? Any help is appreciated...thanks!

man,you guys need to learn the search feature for common questions like these - it's really easy

but here's your answer:

anything over +42mm and 7.5" in width will need at least a 5mm spacer in the rear, and you may have to shear a bolt on the rear suspension arm to get enough clearance.

Default Thanks brian

Brian,

Thanks for the help... I tried searching but didn't really find anything specific to my scenario... but i'll remember that next time

what does 44 offset mean? will it sit closer to the inside of the car or stick out more? Also, what about the front? will it fit ok?

Default whew

if you dont mind me asking...how come you ran it without spacers for so long? What would happen if you didn't? Did you have to cut some bolt in the rear? Thanks for the help... I think I'm gonna get those wheels now.

certain wheels are different.. offset matters
but the way the rim/spokes are matters as well..

like some rims(usually those jdm expensive ones) have u select the
DISC type.. like for cars with bigger brakes that need clearance or what not.
i remember when we tried to put a certain wheel on my friends xb..
the spokes in front wouldn't clear the caliper.. even though it was like around 44 offset.
on a 7.5 in rim..

double check.. call up a dealer of RH or check online..
tell them the car u want. pretend u wanna buy a set from them..
tell them u have a scion whatever.. and will 18x7.5 +44 FROM THIS company fit
