The OFFICIAL 18" Wheel Thread.... Let's see them
#801
I'm new here and I need some advice. I am looking at running 18x8 front and 18x9 rear +40 for both. Will I need a spacer for the rear? I am also undecided on springs. Either the NF210 or the Sportlines. The tires will be 225/40/18 for the front and not sure what size for the rear. Any info would a huge help.

With all the information given, you should be golden. We'll wait for CIONIDE to chime in, but I'm sure you'll be fine.
I'd go with the NFs, personally. Well... I lied... i'd go with DFs, but I doubt you want to lower it that much.

2. The Sportlines with their heavier rear drop will even out the ride height a little more than the NF's, but the NF's provide a noticeably more comfortable ride.
3. With the NF's I'd go with 245/40-18 rear tires. With the Sportlines I'd go with 235/40-18 tires.

1. No spacers needed since you're going staggered.

I'll be getting some rims soon but have a question. Did you notice a difference in the ride quality of the xB when you went to 18's? I've got the stock 16's and I think the car rides very nice. I had an '09 GTi before the xB and it had 18's. The car was ok but when you hit a bump it was very noticable. Hitting the same bump in the xB would go almost un-noticed. I've found both 17's and 18's that I like but just wanted some input. Thanks!
