RE: Wheels
I have 19x8 Armano Vega wheels w/ 215/35/19 tires, so no rubbing.I'm planning on putting some 225/35/19 tires soon; I think the wider tire will improve the handling. The 215's are too narrow. I also put hubcentric rings on; so the ride is pretty close to stock.

RE: Wheels
Really?I'll keep that in mind. I'll talk to my local tire shop (Big-O Tires) and see what they suggest. I think the 225's will fill out my wheel well & wheel width perfectly.
The rep at Tirerack.com suggested 225's, and told me that my current set-up 215/35/19 was incorrect for the X-Type due to the load rating of 85; but it was my understanding that the load rating of 85 has a max weight of 1135 per tire, so its suffcient for the approx. 3500lbs of the X-Type. Am I wrong?

RE: Wheels
ruslans rite about the 225, i have 18x8.5 with 225/40 /18, with the stock suspension it only rubs when u have people in the back and going over bumps of taking fast corners. As u are nt going to lower the cr, u shud be fine. I went and lowered it, and had the fenders shaved. It stil rubs ike crazy, so now i consider my car a 2 seater. no one sits in the back, and i take bumps at10 mph below the speed limit. Its worth it for the look though. Hope ures turn out well, and im sure the wider tire will look great, from the bck and the side, so isa win win sitution
