Got a silver 2002 X Type 3.0
Looking to get the Hotwheels Redline wheels in silver with 225/40/18 from discounttiredirect.com
Do you guys have any experience with a similiar wheel and tire set up with the X Type being lowered
on H&R Springs? Looking at pics, fitment will be close with the car being lowered.

whats the wheel offset? with 18's you need a 47mm offset. i have 38mm and cant lower it if i wanted too. be cautios, x'types werent designed to be modded up. And you cant roll the rear fenders either.

 

See told ya guys.....................somekidz was just lurkin waithin for the chance to jump in and give of his knowledge. Nice one somekidz.

According to discount tire
the offset is 35mm

Am I for sure not going to be able to lower it then?
What if I went back down to a 17in rim and then lower it?

 

LOL,dear mod too knows when hewill jumped in
Good luck with your choice superlative
