So I guess those wheels don't come in a +25 offset after all, huh?

Here's what the tire & wheel calculator/comparer has to say:

Package will stick out 40 mm (1.6'') farther. Make sure that you have enough room under the fender. If not, consider narrower tires or higher offset.

I hope you don't ever plan on lowering it, 'cause you're gonna rub big time if you do.

^^ Yes. You will have major rubbing if you plan to lower your ride.

I like the style though. Very different! Old skool looking.

Not worth the rubbing problems though IMO.

I was referencing a comment from another thread. 2008XBlimited called and asked about the set-up in the picture, since +15 offset shouldn't be run on the xB2.

They must have photoshopped the picture.

You can see that they stick out way past the fenders, and the tires are really stretched.
They look like 16" wheels, so that the tires could be stretched that much.

If you like the look, go for it, but it's not my style at all.

Also keep in mind, depending on the roads and weather where you drive, the paint behind the wheel wells will get trashed.

They'll still stick out past the fenders by 1" (according to the xxr tech), so you will still need to run heavily stretched tires to try and keep from rubbing.
