Default will these fit......

I have a 08 xb lowered on 1.5" trd springs, the rims I want are 18x8 +14mm 4.989" backspacing, will they fit without any modification to the fenders?

I'm with severed on this on. Comparatively I am running 18"x8" rims with a +25 offset and I am sitting pretty much flush. I have them wrapped in 215/40R18 and I didn't have to roll fenders or anything like that. HOWEVER if you do anything narrower than a 215mm wide tire it seems like kind of a big stretch on an 8" wide tire.

Another thing to keep in mind is that if you are gonna run a +14 offset to get that poking look you may as well look for a wider rim, like an 18"x9", but you will definitely need to roll that I would presume.

I will say that this is all my OWN opinion, and just from my own experience. So take it for what it's worth, which is probably very little. LOL

215 on an 8" wheel is a baby stretch. Friends are running 215/35 on a 9.5...

Dont own a xb so I cant comment on clearance.

Thanks for the help, I'm not looking for poke, its the only size I can find with that high of an offset for this brand. So it will fit if I run a 215/40?
