Guys, looking to upgrade the rims on the cheap. Will the stock TC 17" rims fit my 2008 XB?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

Nope...diff bolt pattern

mikelakers

Thanks.

What about other Toyota line rims(17" +)?

They have to be the same bolt pattern, i would go to somewhere like edgeracing.com and search for your car, that will give you your bolt pattern

Im in the same boat...The bolt pattern onour new Bs is 5x114.3...Most Lexus wheels will fit and Camry wheels...i am about to put on some 18" RX-8 Wheels

This is excellent news!

Yes...So many options with the 5x114...think anything import, Hondas, Nissans 350zs G35's

I was going to go with some factory GS or LS wheels
I like the New 18's GS wheels

More the better!
So, besides correct bolt pattern, what else should I look for in a perfect match?

Offset and Overall Diameter. Offset is how far it goes in or sticks out, rim width will affect offset sizing. OD will affect your speedometer and accuracy of mileage.

Good info, thanks.

Rav 4 yes.... 4runner is a 6 lug.

you all spoiled my fun. i didn't realize the bolt patterns were different. I planned on stealing my wife's tC wheels and giving her my stockies, haha. This save me some work. I would have been doing it and went.... WTF...

oops...my bad.

when you put on larger wheels how do you recalibrate the odometer? I know that low profiles means the diameter overall wont decrease but lets say i didnt want to use low profile tires, but wanted to increase ground clearance on my xb for slightly more offroad capability.

Thats the same issue i am wondering about. i'm trying to get rims/tires that have the same circumference as the stockies so that i can switch to and from between the winter and summer, if not i will have to recalibrate twice a year.

Here's an online rim/tire calculation link, very useful.

Same one I use. Keep the OD the same and you're good to go. That's why I keep it easy on myself and usually just do OEM +2.

How do you adjust the odometer? If i get bigger tires the speed and milage will be inacurate.

i would say it would have to be done at either the dealer or where you are getting your wheels. most likely the dealer.
