XXR 006 Wheels 18"
Just ordered these puppies for the car along with the Eibach Sportline kit. After reading a bit I'm a little worried about the offset though. The wheels are 18 x 8.5 and have a 35mm offset. I have read that another guy with 18 x 8.5s with a 45mm offset was flush with the fenders. So at the very worst they will stick out about 1cm which I guess isn't terrible. Could someone confirm this for me? The guy I was talking to assured me they would fit which is a little wierd after what I've read.
Here is a pic of the wheel though. The car is Red Alert so I think it will look pretty cool together.

Re: XXR 006 Wheels 18"
Offset changes rim design to design. So what another brand and type of wheel has for an offset doesn't really translate to a completely different wheel.
I like those wheels, too. They are definitely good looking!

Re: XXR 006 Wheels 18"
if it sticks out... just do the stretched tire look lol.
225's would look dope with a little of the wheel sticking out.
i dunno... i got into the euro scene and sometimes their wheels stick out like almost 2 inches.

Re: XXR 006 Wheels 18"
Ok, well thats good to hear.
By the way, the springs are in, and the wheels/tires were shipped from Vancouver today so I should have them by tommorow, or Thursday at the latest. I'll be gone all weekend at a race, but I can post pics when I get back.

run a 215 or 225 to be safe. as long as the tire sits under the fender and the car is dropped it wont look bad.
