I've added 19- and 20-inch tire sizes to the chart and cleaned it up by removing references to rim width. this should serve those interested in larger diameters.
I don't recommend 19s or especially 20s on this car, but hey, whatever floats your boat...
I am having a bit of a hard time understanding that chart. So my question is this, what offset would I need to run 9.5" wide wheels on the xB?
I have 9" wide on the rear of my Jetta. I actually wish they were 9" all around but that wasn't a choice at the time. I probably could be happy with 8.5" but wanna see if 9.5" will work. I love wider tires, it does help out the handling and stance.

That was actually pretty damn cool. I just wish they had a way that you could see the wheel cut away on a car cut away. Then you could play with the setting and see how far the wheel would stick out or adjust the offest accordingly for proper fit, or see that no matter what it won't fit.
Ok, both of these were great. However, I am an old school muscle car kind of guy. I would like to put a taller tire on my car. Instead of 205/55r16, I would like to have something like 225/60r16 in the rear and 215/60r16 in the front.....would they fit? My goal is to fill the tire well without going to a larger wheel or lowering the car. Any advice on wheels and tires for me?
Ok so I am looking at some used tires and wheels 235/45/18 Wanli tires and Gloden wheels. they came off of a 1998 Grand Am. 5 bolt pattern will these fit my 2009 XB? Dont see them on this chart so just wondering and wanted to ask a person that knows.
YO E! Good info!! Do you have info on what Toyota/Lexus rims are compatible to our rim size? I' considering getting some camry or other model rims for my ride. You can get a good deal from some wheel refurbishers out there like Transwheel, etc.
I just bought a set of 17 x 7 x 43mm Stern Bronze Warp ST-4 Wheels/Rims. ( Gold & Polish Alum 5 Spoke) http://www.maxspeedperformance.com/xcart/product.php?productid=15085&cat=182 I paid much less than listed.
I'm going to mount 235 / 55 x 17 Kumho Platinum LXs..
The intent is to install the nicest looking wheel I could find. In a wheel/Tire combo that would be the largest diameter I could fit (without interference) and mount the quietest tire with the best hydro action I could find
I need to replace my tires and want to go beefy. I have been searching for a while. I know the 225 50 16 works well. I want to go larger either 225 55 16 or 225 60 16 .Im looking for others who are running these sizes and looking for pics. My xb is an 08 on stock springs. Thanks
My 2008 5.0 Beauty has just under 26K on her. The Tires have started to dry rot. I need to replace them, and of course need an answer fast. Any one know?.... The car is at the dealer and I need to shop:smile:

Newb to the forum here, so I was doing some shopping on eBay for my 2012 XB and came across this sweet looking XB, and fell in love with those wheels. I contacted the site to see if that had any info on the vehicle of course they didn't so I've been scouring the internet and no luck so far. I...
I know what really helped me out when getting my new wheels, was looking at other peoples XB2s on different forums and reading their exact specs.
I figured I'd start one on this forum considering I see alot of "how will these look" type threads. Now, just browse this thread and have a better...
