can anyone tell me if an 18" - 8" width with 49 offset fit my 02 xtype sport.
the tires are 235/50 R 18 Conti Touring.
Will I get rubbing? Thanks.

 

I see it got move here. I have an Xtype 02 Sport Trim w/ mcpherson suspension. I currently have a 17" Sport wheels.

 

Hey Rocky, I can't help specifically with your wheels on the X type, but, I had 17's on my X type and could have went to 18's no problem. Some guys here have 19's and there's even 1 or 2 with 20's !!!
You should be fine on 18's but you are correct and the offset is important, just make sure you get sumthin real close to what you have existing setup.
Do yourself a huge favour and check out an online tyre calculator...All you have to do is punch in the info and it'll pretty much tell you whats what.....If you currently have say 225 x 50 x 17 on the car and want to go to 18's.......you may need sumthin like 235 x 45 x 18 or similar.


As an example - on my A6 I've just upgraded from 225 x 50 x 17 tyre / wheel setup to 255 x 35 x 19.....Having checked it out the dia is within 0.61% or thereabouts which means the speedo will still be correct.

Hope that helps to point you in the right direction or at least gives you an idea

 

Thanks Jim. Called the guy selling the wheels & tires. He said just sold it.
Will definitely check out the calculator. Thanks again.
