^You are correct on the tire size for 18" wheels. I own and operate my own business(shameless plug) and i can tell you that the "safe recommended size" is 225/40/18. The 17" "recommended" size is 205/50/17 if you want to keep the correct rolling circumference to match the 195/60/16 factory tire size. I am personally going with a 225/45/17 due to the track width and overall circumference, it will match the 205/50/17 within specs. If you guys and gals ever have a question concerning anything with wheels and tires, let me know, i have been doing this for the better part of 10 years, with anything for 13" wheels all the way up to 32" Asanti's on an H2.

I found a nice set of Enkei's with new tires locally but the wheels are 5 x 114.3
Will these fit my xD ?
No they will not, They need to be 5 x 100 to fit the xD/tC.
5x114.3 is for an xB
Well, that stinks....I found a set of 4 brand new Enkeis in the hyper black finish with new tires mounted and balanced for $600, and he's close by. Oh well....I'll keep looking!
Running 18 x 8 with a 35 offset...Tire size is 225/40/18 but I wish I had a little stretch so I could run some Randode spacer shims and get it even more flush and go moar low...Right now i'm close, but I want closer...We already grinded down the inner fender lip...
I'm looking at getting some 18" tsw mallory 5's but I don't how they are going to sit on the car I don't want to go to big and it be a waste of money but whatever I'm sure ill figure it out. Any suggestions?
I like! - those look somewhat similar to the Katana wheels I have on my xD, except you got 6-spoke and mine are 5.
Are those tires the same diameter as the stock tires? They look a little larger in diameter in that picture... would throw your speedo/odo off a bit if they are...
