|
|
| I was looking at a set of wheels that are 19x8 42 offset and was wondering about the fit. As far as tire choice I was planning on running a 235/35 setup. Will these fit, and what kind of spacers would I have to run if any to flush the out with the fender? Thanks for the help in advance! |

19x8 +42 with 235/35 tires will all fit fine. Fronts will be almost flush.
Unfortunately, the rear axle on our xB's is offset about 1/4" toward the driver side. To get the rears to match the fronts on both sides will require a 15mm spacer on the driver side, and a 20mm spacer on the passenger side. This can get a little expensive, since all the spacers I have seen come in pairs. Maybe you can find somebody that wants spacers also, so that you can buy a set of each and split them with somebody else, so that you each get one 15mm spacer & one 20mm spacer.
The other option would be to just get a set of 15mm spacers, and know that the right rear will not be quite as flush as the other three wheels. We're only talking about a little under 1/4", so unless you point it out, I don't think anybody would notice.
Darksides7 is on 19x8 +40 offset with 235/35 tires and 15mm rear spacers. With +42 offset, your wheels would sit back 1/12" (almost nothing) from the fender lip compared to his. Here's his thread to see what it looks like:

| Ok, I've been reading a LOT of back and forth on this one so I figured I would ask one more time. Staggered setup: 19x8 +35 front 19x9 +35 rear. Car will have NF210 springs (unless stiffer springs would elevate any rub if thats the case or really necessary). What size tires make it work the best? |

| To make sure no rubbing with the NF springs; 225/35 fronts & 245/35 rears. |
