+1 the xi wheels will need higher offsets and are very specific. per C's post, the VMR VB3s he had are 19x8.5 and 19x9.5, and tire sizes would be 245/35/19 and 275/30/19. we're direct with VMR as well

 

Should've bought my wheels .. Let me know if you need any help, the shop I work @ is in Jersey so you wouldn't have to pay for shipping and all that, we do everything here.

 

Wheels:
Front - 19 x 8.5
Offset - ET40

Rear: 19 x 9.5
Offset - ET45

Tires:
Front - 245/35/19
Rear - 275/30/19

Search on all my old posts (pre-2008) and you will find a lot about the XI. Good luck!

 

 

The setup on my XI was a little more aggresive .. In red.

 

Correct. I just did spacers (10 front and 12 rear) which made these two set-ups identical. These offsets weren't available when I did this set-up. If you don't feel like doing spacers, this is the way to go.

 

how about these rims? would they fit what you guys think?
