Thumbs up XXR 006 wheels, fitment question

I'm trying to figure out the wheel sizes/offsets needed here.

This is the wheel type I want, but with the blue lip on black, instead of red on black as shown:



I'm assuming so far this is the staggered setup, 18 x 8.5 fronts and 18 x 9.5 rears.

2" lip up front and 3.5" lip on the rears.

The manufacturer site (XXRWheels.com) doesn't list the offsets:

I do realize I will need to roll the fenders and pick up some overfenders in the rear.


There are a few shops in my area that can order these wheels in, I just want to make sure I am ordering correctly.

Thanks in advance!

Here are some pictures of the same wheels on a s2k. You could PM eric_reed_ii and ask him his offset.

Ok, I found this old post by Desmond (his car pictured above)

18x8 +42 245/40/18 front
18x9.5 +34 265/35/18 rear
Other posts by him mention the rear as +35 and 255/35/18s.

+35 offset is available for the rear.

I'm finding +35 offset for the front too. Not finding any +42s.

Is this accomplished with a spacer or something?

A spacer would push the wheel further out = lower offset, not what you want. Call a vendor and see what they can get. Be prepared to do some work to make those fit. If you are keeping the body stock, you might consider 7.5" front, 8.5" rear to make them fit easier. It looks like you still get a 3.25" lip with a 8.5" rear.

fr: 18x7.5 +42 225/45/18
rr: 18x9.5 +35 255/40/18

i actually just had my fenders rolled today, and there is no rubbing at all. plus have u seen the overfenders? the ones i have seen dont stop with the bottom of the bumer in the rear like they do in the front, they just dont look that nice to me... so i'd just have an aggressive fender roll and see how that treats ya. i love the offset, good luck
