Default new wheels on my xb



they are 18 by 7.5. barely fit the back without rubbing. i was going to use spacers, but the lugs aren't long enough. so as long as i don't bend the wheels, they won't rub.

Looks great! I was thinking about some rims just like those for mine only in the 15" of 16" size. Where in VA are you?

Where do they almost rub at? Is it the inner part of the fender well? Or is it the actual well its self?

yeah 42mm offset 18 by 7.5. they stick out further then stock too. so i wanted to stay with a FWD offset. these are not Tenzo. they are ICW. they are one of the modestly priced wheels that i carry. they didn't slow it down too much with the extra weight. but i still wish the car was faster. its hard having one super fast car, and then the next day driving a super slow car. you feel like you might have been druged...
