(I figured i'd post this up to help anyone that may be new to wheels+tires.)

Alot of people can be confused when it comes to the sizes of tires. P###/##R-##

It'll take 1 minute for me to explain to you :)

The best way to explain is to use an example. For this example, i'll use my tire size:

P215/35R-18 ( simplified as--> 215/35-18 )



P-----> The P denotes the tire as being a Passenger vehicle tire

215--> The 215 denotes the measurment of the WIDTH of the tire (in milimeters, 215mm)

35-->35 denotes the Height-to-Width Ratio. That aspect ratio of height to width here in our example is 35 The height of the tire (aka--> Profile or sidewell) is 35% the width of the tire. So if the width of the tire was 100mm, then the height of the tire would be 35mm. Or if the width was 200mm, the height of the sidewell, or profile, would be 70mm, and so on.

R---> R identifies Radial Construction.

18---> The last number, in our case 18, is the diameter from bead to bead on our tire. The 18 denotes that this particular tire fits, and ONLY fits an 18" rim


http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/lebmoon5/img-323-large1.jpg
http://i3.photobucket.com/albums/y98/lebmoon5/box.jpg



Simple huh? :P



Next i'll explain the speed designation of tires: The speed rating of a tire is really nothing more than an expression of how well the tire will withstand the temperatures of high speed. Also, this does not necessarily mean that a high speed rated tire will perform better at low speeds than a lower rated tire.

Lower rated tires are usually made from a harder rubber and last longer than softer high speed rated tires. So my advice is that if you don't plan on going 100+mph then don't buy such a tire, they'll only wear more quickly!



Speed ratings:


F / 50mph
G / 56mph
J / 62mph
K / 68mph
L / 75mph
M / 81mph
N / 87mph
P / 93mph
Q / 100mph
R / 106mph
S / 112mph
T / 118mph
U / 124mph
H / 130mph
V / 149mph
Z / 149+mph

The 4×100 bolt pattern is fairly common, however, the steel wheel has a Toyota centerbore (54.1 mm) so most likely you will be limited to Scion xA, Scion xB, Toyota Celica (1988-1989), Toyota Corolla (1988-2001), Toyota Corolla Wagon (1988-1996), Toyota Echo, Toyota MR2 (1986-1990), Toyota Paseo, Toyota Tercel (1989-1998), Toyota MR2 Spyder (2000-).

If you are running 195/60R15 on a Scion, you are already taller than factory spec (185/60R15). if you run a 225/45R17 on a Scion, you will be 5.19% taller than factory setting. This is even taller than the 215/35R19 tires for the 19" application. There's a good chance you're going to see rubbing issues, plus at 50mph, you will be going 52.6mph and when your odometer shows 1000 miles, you will actually have traveled 948.09 miles. It's recommended to stay within 3% of OE sizing if you want to keep the speedometer and odometer accurate. I'd go 215/40R17. If you'd like a bit more meat, then perhaps 225/40R17 which is only 1.46% larger than stock.

42 Offset is really conservative. The wheels will definately tuck under the fenders. Of course, it will all depend on the width of the wheel. There's no way to tell fitment without knowing the width... 42 offset on a 7" wide wheel versus 42 offset on a 8½" wheel will give you different results. I know if you run a 7½" width, ET35 is pretty much flush in the front, and for the rear, ET20-25 would probably be ideal.

Hey ChickenAdobo, (man now I'm hungry... lol), I actually work in the industry and we had some 17×7.5 ET35 Antera wheels that I test fitted to my xB. Then I went underneath to see how much more room I had on the inside of the wheel before hitting the suspension and how much more room I had on the outside to make it flush with the fenders. I also have a chart that compares different offsets with different wheel widths to give me an idea of what will work, and what probably wouldn't.

The 15×7 ET35 will fit no problem. The wheels should sit pretty close to how the factory wheels sit. If you could find an ET25 wheel with a 7" width it would fill the wheel well nicely.

I don't recommend using a 225/60R15 tire on a Scion... way too big. You would be increasing overall diameter to almost 8% over OE height. When we fit aftermarket wheels on vehicles here we won't go over 3% to keep odometer.speedometer measurements within reason. You would be increasing total wheel height by almost 2" and when your odometer reads 1,000 miles you would be at 920 actual miles. You would be 3/4" taller than the 19" (215/35R19) guys, plus the tire would be wider as well. Unless you put a serious lift kit on the box, I'd use a different tire. If you don't want to stick with the factory 185/60R15, I'd probably do 205/55R15 on a 7" wide rim. A 225 tire on a 7" wheel will have the tire ballooning out a bit and may look funny.

Both the Scion and the Honda Accord use 12mm lug nuts with a 1.5 pitch. By "a couple of mm off", what are you referring to? What kind of wheels do you have? It would be best to check with the manufacturer / distributor of that brand of wheel to see if the hardware is the same on their toyota and honda fitments. Another thing to keep in mind is that the 4-lug Honda Accord is a 4×114.3 bolt pattern and the Scion is a 4×100 bolt pattern so unless your wheel has a dual bolt pattern drilled in (8 lug holes on the wheel all together, 4×100 & 4×114.3), it will not fit. Lastly, the Accord has a centerbore of 64.1mm. If the wheel you currently have is hubcentric to the Accord, then the hole in the center of the wheel should have a diameter of 64.1mm. Since the Scion has a centerbore of 54.1mm, you will need a center ring that has an outer diameter of 64.1mm and an inner diameter of 54.1mm (IF your wheel is hubcentric to the Accord). If your wheel is NOT hubcentric to the Accord (the hole in your wheel is not 64.1mm in diameter), then the center ring you will need has an inner diameter of 54.1mm and an outer diameter to match the hole in the wheel. Once again, it would be best to check with the manufacturer or distributor of your brand wheel to see what hardware they have for proper fitment.

Could someone tell me why 225/40/18's on a 18 x 7.5 wheel is too wide, but yet you can go with 225/40/18 on a 18 x 9.0 rim I want to know.

Probably because the 225 tires are nearly 9 Inches wide. so placing them on a 9 inch wide wheel would be good. on the other hand putting a 9 in ch tire on a 7.5 wouldn't be so good.

It does not mean that you have to use the exact wheel tire combo

The FAQ was just pointing out what works so far

people need to post or pm their wheel combo so we can update the FAQ

I don't know much about how to select wheels and tires. My dealer recommended I get Kosei K-1 Racing Wheels and Yokohama AVS ES100 205/55VR15 high performance tires for the summer. Can anyone tell me whether this was a good recommendation? Any pros and cons to these choices?

Well, I just got my Kosei wheels and Yokohama tires on yesterday and can I say how HUGE an improvement these are in comparison to the stock wheels and tires? My xB now handles like it's driving on rails. :lol: It feels so much more solid on the road. I've taken the curved off-ramps from highways at fairly high speeds and the car grips the road like you wouldn't believe!

Okay, those non-newbie car enthusiasts are probably saying "duh!" but for those of you who never really paid much attention to modifications and such on cars like me, believe me when I say how significant a difference tires can make.

If the change from all-season to summer performance tires is any indication of benefits, I am DEFINITELY going to get dedicated winter tires for next winter. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be many winter tires on the market that fit our cars--at least that's what the tire shop I went to said.

Does anyone know about or can recommend a good winter tire for the xB?

Thanks,

Hey guys

Will 18 x 8 with 35mm offset fit ???

OK guys, the info posted here is great... and normally that'd be all the info I'd want... BUT I've fallen in LOVE with a set of wheels that are discontinued.... I've only found them in 2 places that have any left... one has a set of 16's in a silver finish that'll work... BUT one place has in stock 17's in a polished finish that I'd much rather have, they are 17 x 7.5 with an offset of 45... I'm really stupid when it comes to wheels and I'll admit it. I see the fitment chart showing a max offset of 40... Can I use spacers to compensate? I really have my heart set on these rims and want to see if there is anyway to make this happen..

any and all help appreciated.

I have 17 x 7 1/2 with a 42 offset and 215-40-17 tires lowered and it hasent rubbed yet fingers crossed

just curious as to when do you know when you need spacers? also, i understood that they go between your wheel and tire but have seen some put behind the rear hub is that right? one more question what does it mean to roll the fenders? thanks a bunch.... :lol:

ive never seen spacer behind the hub/drum brakes?


only time you need spacers
A) if you want your wheels flush with the rear fender
B) if you are having rubbing issue in there rear suspension part(you bought the wrong offset wheels or wheel design)

rolling fenders
pushing up on the fender lip so it will give a little more room for your wheel
should be done professionally in my opinion

heres an article on rolling fenders
http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=131

The spacer behind the spindle is designed for camber.
It is an uneven wedge if you will.
People here use them for camber to get wider wheels to fit without to much modification.
Not my style but it accomplishes what was desired.

Ok, I guess its about time I posted my 411. I have a TCM xB on TEIN coilovers. They are set at 2.5 inch drop up front, and 2.0 inch drop in the rear. I'm running 17x7.5 Buddy Club wheels w/ +42 offset. The tires are 215/40-17 Nitto Neo-Gens, and I am also running a 3 mm spacer in the rear. No problems at this time and I have put almost 2k miles on this set-up.

I guess I should also post my setup since mine is probably the less common one.

Set-up back in June of 2k3:

Tires: 225x40x18 on all 4 corners
wheels: 18x7.5 42mm
Springs: Spy 2" drop lowering Springs
Spacers: 5mm in the rear only (to bring the wheel out more)

Rubbing in the rear: Yes
How to fix: Cut the small piece of plastic from the inner splash guard where the tire
is rubbing. NO MORE RUBBING after this simple fix.

Rubbing in the front: Yes
How to fix: cutting a small piece of plastic from the inner plastic fender where the tire is rubbing, but with a 2" drop, you will still rub agains the fastener that holds the bumper to the fender. Switched to 215x35x18 and no more rubbing.

Current Setup @ 28.5K miles:

Tires: 215x40x18 int Front 225x40x18s in the back:
wheels: 18x7.5 42mm
Springs: Spy 2" drop lowering Springs
Spacers: 5mm in the rear only (to bring the wheel out more)

I love this setup over the previous setup because the 215x40x18s is more forgiving when hitting bumps vs. 215x35x18s (more tire between the road and the rim). I also like the subtle wheel staggered look.

Rubbing in the Front: Yes, only when turning the wheel all the way left/right.
Rubbing in the back: None.

I hope this helps :lol:

215x45x17....45 offset


front fine no rubbing

rear touches rear arm. ground down manufacturing circle on arm. no rubbing.

i know..its sky high...just got it yesterday

http://a1.cpimg.com/image/41/C8/33432641-2b51-02000180-.jpg

215/35/18 +45 offset had 5mm spacer added in rear

No rubbing at all and I drove her to vegas and back.... Will be dropping it 2 inches soon.

I just purchased19x7.5 offset 42 wheels and i'm gonna use 215/35-19's and I was wondering if i'm gonna need spacers so I can order them asap.

215/50/16 on a 16 X 7.5 rim with 38 offset. No problem with the tires rubbing against the wheel wells. However did experience two minor problems. First in the right front the brake caliper was grinding against the inner bore of the rim. Made a small groove. Solve it by switching the left and right front wheel (knew this would work as I had tried them this way the previous week during a trial run). On the back had to grind down the small circular support plugs which protrude out and rub against the front inner side of the rear tires. The left side one rubs more than the right side. Another solution to this problem would be the use of two small spacers. which would also bring out the rear wheels a little more. But that wouldn't work with my hubcentric rings. Note, car has not been dropped. But with the bigger wheels the gap is more noticeable.

6/9 Update: Discovered that the right front wheel (outer part of the wheel) was catching on a protruding part of the wheel well assembly (where the two portions overlap). However it would only happen after going in reverse with the wheel turned all the way over to the right. Then when we went forward, the outer edge of the wheel would somehow catch on the wheel well and we would hear a slight, but noticeable, thump. Think we solved the problem by cutting about a 1/4 of an inch off the protruding wheel well assembly with a shear.

ok guys i was looking around at the fabulous kits, you know the deeeep dished wheels and stuff.
well on there website it said the wheels they were using were 18x8.5 +18 offset 90mm outer rim (special low disk) in the front,
and 18x9.5 +18 offset 103mm outer rim (special low disk) in the back, and the tires are 225/35 ZR 18 on all 4 of them.

its listed at the very bottom of the bB and ist pages.
http://www.fabulous.co.jp/domestic_car/toyota/ist.html
http://www.fabulous.co.jp/domestic_car/toyota/bb.html

but i guess you would have to use there Inferno suspension kit to get them to fit properly.
http://www.fabulous.co.jp/other_item/suspension.html

17 x 7 with +40 offset - 215/40/17

No problems so far... Might add a spacer to the rear to bring them out a little.

http://img78.photobucket.com/albums/v250/thescionicman/Boxinthecity.jpg

Will a 15x7 w/+31 offset wheel w/205/55/15 tires fit on an xB with ~2inch drop. What is an ideal offset to fill the wheelwellson an xB if this fitment is not? I'm a newb to xBs, but not to modifying cars and I'm just doing my homework before making a purchase.

Thanks in advance for the help!

REMINDERS:

Be sure to check your lug wrench AFTER getting new wheels. The stock one doesn't work on my wheels because its not thin enough to fit around the lugnut without hitting the rim. I bought a folding star wrench.

Also, you may want to put some stock lugnuts in with your spare in case the aftermarket ones don't work right with the donut.

If you are lowered, make sure the stock jack can fit under your car or buy something that will.

Planning ahead for these things is easier than finding out when you're stranded on the road. Unless it's pouring down rain or a really bad spot, AAA is just too slow for me. :wink:

The 5zigen site has the xA and the xB on 18x7.5 with a 43 offset. Just so ya's know.

I am getting these rims in 18x7.5!!!!!

http://www.wheelpros.com/wheels/detail.cfm?id=511

I am planning to get 215/35/18 tires!

I am not worried about rubbing problems, cuz I haven't lowerd it yet.

My question, what I do about offsets? need spacers? Lemme know! (I read this whole thread but I figured I like to hear myquestion get answered directly!)

I'm very excited to get my silver xB in the next week. I am in absolute love with the Racing Hart C4s, and would like to roll on these 18s:

http://www.racerwheel.com/wrac-pkg-c41pc.htm

I don't see an offset here, but I can't find these any cheaper, so I would like to go with racerwheel.com. Can anyone please confirm that these would not rub using 215/35/18s?

thanks so much

For the xa people...

Racing Hart CR Multi piece

18x7.5 +42 up front 225.35.18
18x7.5 +35 out back 225.35.18

Fits fine with a 2.0 drop on tanabe sustec pro's...

Hey yall listen up! There should be no problem of rubbing with 19's on the xb even while it has been lowered. My xb has no rubbing issues at all in the front or rear without using spacers or modifying anything on the car at all. I am running a set of 19x7in. wheels with a 42mm. offset on 215/35/19 toyo proxes4 rubbers and a 2in. Eibach drop and have had no such problems at all. My suggestion is if your in the market for wheels is to go to the knowledgeable wheel shop and pick out your choices of wheeels and have fun remember a narrower wheel with the correct offset equals no rubbing at all
:wink:

if thats possible what size tire would i need to put a 20 inch rims on the tc at factory height. If its not possible then wahts a good 19 inch rims and tire combo so i wont have alot of tire and alot of space inbetween the wheel well and the tire.

wheel size: 18x7.5 +35mm offset
tire size: 215/40-18
suspension: Hotchkis Springs/Anti-Sways

Rubs in front when wheels are turned. Looking into spacers before I start cutting the plastic fenderwell lining.

Rears are fine.

This info is for an xB.

Front: 19x8 +35 w/215/35/19 Nitto Neo Gens.. Slight rub when cornering and hitting a dip. No rubbing on lock to lock

Rear: 19x8 +25 w/215/35/19 Nitto Neo Gens... Pass side rub only (im sure due to the axel shift the xBs have.

ok i am looking at 17x7 rims what tire size should i run to keep the stock overall tire diameter? is it the 215/45/17 or the 215/40/17?

:D

I just purchased and installed 19 x 7.5 (42 offset) R-1 Racing Wheels GTR5, with Falken Aventis 215/35/19 tires. My xB is stock and there are no rubbing issues at all after a very minor trim of the rear inner mud flap. If I can figure out how to post a picture I will do that.

Dont Honda wheels fit the xBs??

I thought they were also +40 offset, 4x100.

And for the tC wouldnt the older subarus be the same??

I used to have a GC body Impreza, and still have 17x7.5, 5x100, +50 offset Advan Kruezer Vs, would they fit a tC????

I am going to be getting the new Axis Crux Wheels but I have A problem they come in two diffrent offsets. One is a 42 offset and the other is 32 offset. Which one would fit my Scion Xa and what is the diffrence in offsets?

I just purchased and installed 19 x 7.5 (42 offset) R-1 Racing Wheels GTR5, with Falken Aventis 215/35/19 tires. My xB is stock and there are no rubbing issues at all after a very minor trim of the rear inner mud flap. If I can figure out how to post a picture I will do that.

:arrow: UPDATE: Just installed the TRD springs (1" drop) and still no rubbing issues. Pics posted in my profile.

i dont know if they will fit but i like your avtar.

just put on my rims today. 18x7.5 with 215/35/18's and a +45 in the front and a 20mm spacer in the rear to give me a +25. no rubbing in the rear. in the front I do not notice any rubbing but I haven't lowered my xB yet. I have 10mm spacers to put in the front if I run into a rubbing issue.

I lost so much sleep worring about rubbing issues. i am so happy that they are finally on. :D :D :D

I recently picked up some Sport Max 18x7.5 Hyper Silver wheels @ a good price, the offset is +42, according to the list I read, it was posted that the front wheels would rub @ full lock, my xA is not lowered, and I don't really plan to lower it, I would like to run 215/35 18 tires on these rims, would anybody have any suggestions, could I run spacers on the front to take care of the rubbing issue?? Most of the postings seem to be for xB's. Any help would be appreciated....Thanks

are the first-gen prius wheels interchangable with xa wheels?

I Just bought some Racing Hart 18x7.5 rims with a et42 and some goldline springs with van's rear shims..

What are my tire options for good fitment a 215/35/18 i know will fit but i'd like somthing bigger.
.
and will my goldlines be too low?

as well as should i get some 5mm spacers for the front from van(onetongarage)?

thanks for any and all info.

Hey just purchased my rims today with the same rim specs as yours....18x7.5 (42 offset) with 215/35 tires. Just wondering if they rub? (without spacers) If so will I need spacers (front and back) to correct this problem? Currently my xb isn't lowered but I plan on lowering it in the future.

215/35/19 vs 225/40/18

Tire height: 24.93 vs 25.09
Tire width diff: - vs .39 wider (.195 each side of tire)


explain to me why a 225/40/18 inch tire wont fit but a 215/35/19 will. :tap:

I am running a 19x8 wheel with 45 offset. Used OTG shims. Rubs when wheel is turned the way. Lowered with Tech S. 225-35-19 Tire

i have a 2inch dropp on my box, and i'm running 20x7 wheels, with nitto555 225/35/20 tires! would go with any other size!!!!!

what is offset? im looking to sell my stock tc wheels, and wanted to know if they will fit an xb. the offset is +35, so with the xb's offset of +38, does that mean the tc stock wheels are too small or slim (or viseversa) to fit in the xb well? your help would be appreciated.

3mm is no problem.

There are no fixed offsets OEM it is 35mm on a 7 inch rim but to center a 8 inch rim it would be a 47 mm offset.

I have OZ Supperleggera rims 17x8 with 45 mm offset, 225x45 tire, stock suspension no problems rim and tire are 2 lbs lighter then stock rim. OZ is about the stongest and lightest rim you can buy for sane amounts of cash.

On the stock rims I have Yoko AVS ES100 225-45 very good setup
Auto-X I have Kumho 700 race tires, very good setup

@unseen: Your tC wheels will not fit an xB. tC wheels are 5 lug, and xB wheels are 4 lug, so the rest of the measurements are irrelevant.

I am looking to get a 18x 7.5 rim with 45 offset... Will I have rubbing issues when I lower the car on air bag suspension....


Also hopes this offset calculator will help everyone..


http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html

just wondering why nobody has replied to this with the errors in the stock tire size listed in the first post. stock xB steelies are 15x6. stock xA steelies are 15x5.5. i believe stock tire size is 185/60R15 on both, DEFINITELY that on xB.

the first post says 15x7 in the list of sizes is the stock xB size, which is wrong. then farther down the post it says 15x5.5 for both xB and xA, which is also wrong. xA and xB, despite their similarities, have different part numbers for their wheels as they ARE a different width.

so, as far as i know
xB stock steel wheels: 15x6
xA stock steel wheels: 15x5.5
stock tire size: 185/60R15
an excellent upgrade size for a little more contact patch: 205/55R15, nearly the same diameter, many high performance tires available in this size.

I can verify that the stock tire size on xA is 185.60.15.

Mods -- can we possibly get you to make that change to the beginning of the thread? It threw me way off when I started looking for new rims/tires. 10mm can make a big difference if you are trying to keep your speedometer and/or odometer correct.

On an unrealted note, has anyone had experience with Motegi Trak Lite wheels? I'm thinking of doing those rims with Goodyar F1 GS-D3 in 17 inches. Ya'll have any thoughts?

I'm glad you people like to put custom rims on your Scions... I just ordered a set of OEM tC rims off Ebay for my Dodge Stratus! Go figure. I'll have to open the center bore up by 3mm {1.5mm all around} but I'm not too worried about that.

Anyways my wife just got a 05 tC in Indigo Ink Pearl. About all we got for options were the rear spoiler and remote starter. I also bought a set of the OEM floormats off Ebay {holy crap are those expensive???} No plans to do anything else to this car besides drive the tires off it, but you know how these things change. I know the car has potential to be lots of things but in stock trim, as a daily driver it's almost perfect.

So in any case my Stratus {hand me down from the wife} isn't quite the car that the Scion is but at least we'll have matching rims :wink: Also I get to drive the tC from time to time so that takes some of the sting out. I enjoy this forum and especially all the pictures... all three Scion cars are just great IMNSHO. I've thought about getting one for myself in the future but I'm not sure which I'd pick!

Rick S.

Just wanted to know where do you guys get your spacers, and what type of spacers are you guys using? I'm interested in finding out, since I want to take my friends wheels, which are 16x6.5 +45 offset. I'd like to space them out so it'll fit under my car, but I hate the lug replacement spacers. Let me know. Thanks

Has anyone run a tire taller than the 215/35-19? If so, what profile & any rubbing?

Thanks!

Does anybody know if any company makes a 15x7 wheel that is powder coated black? I cant seam to find one? :(

Thanks

rotawheels,
a GANG of wheels on wheelmax.com

05xb, trd springs, Kazera KZ-U 18x7 +38, 215/35/18. I haven't noticed any rubbing in full lock turns, and the rear looks to be ok (from what I can see on the ground).

I'll double check again for any rubbing or wear when I change the oil this week.

Quick question:

I bought a set of 15" Work Euroline DHs off a someone in CA.

Not sure what the offset is, but he suggested 10mm spacers up front and 3mm in back.

Doesn't that sound backwards? Any help would be appreciated.

I am planning to get the Konig Unknown Wheels in 18's, with a 215/40/18 tire will this fit on a stock xB?

Glad I found this thread!

new update...
http://www.hammertam.com/camber2/DSC04318.JPG

8j +11... -4.5°

the offset is +11 cuz of 9.53(3/8") OTG(onetongarage)
spacer shims. and another 4mm spacer. on my +25
thus turing it into a near +11 offset.

Howcome there isn't a tC wheel/tire info section? I'd like to know if my 18x8.5 rims will fit with a 48mm offset. Someone help please ;)

its not that there isn't.. its just nobody posts tC info up!
anywhos.. everyone's rocking whatever wheelmax or ebay is selling anyways.. so whatever u see on ebay that says..
SCION TC i bet will work.

u should ask gene of allstars to see if he knows anything
about fitmet on a tC.. he did have osmehting to do with that
red one.,. with the hre's.. maybe he knows what offset u should run..

hahajoey, I would like to see more pix of your rims. they look so nice from that angle, lol

http://www.hammertam.com/camber/notbad2.jpg

those are freakin dope! i'll be purchasing some Eurolines for my tC soon! hopefully next month, but burning black. awesome box bro :) btw what size are you rolling on?

18x7.5 in front (+30 a disc)
18x8 in rear (+25 o disc)

18x7.5 in front (+30 a disc)
18x8 in rear (+25 o disc)

Does it rub? what size tire?

215/35 all around.
lots of fender rolling... and pulling to pull it off..
now with the spacers.. im running a +20 in front..
and about a +11 in rear

so you are running, spacershims and camber plates since you have -4.5 ?? Sean

no that picture is with spacer shims, camber plates, and spacers, its a 8" wide in rear, running 4.5 degrees of camber.
at about a 11 offset. with a 215/35(thats what the photo shows)

I think my question was not clear, so you bolted on both camber palte and OTG shims at once, and just wondering who made the camber plates ? Thanks Sean

Damn Joey.

:clap:

will at 15x8 rim fit using a 225/50/15 tire all around? If so...what offset? I have available 12/22/32 offsets

i would get 22 in front..
and 12 in rear..
thats just me though. and i'd be rocking 195/50s..
225 will be too beefy to look good.

i sold this road racing lude and 97 type R about a year ago. The lude you see has 15x7 with 225x50x15's. i thought it would look good with a 15x8 with that size tire. fat...very fat

someone here should be able to give you a quick answer?

-I think but don't know- "yes, no problem"
but do not take my guess on it.

am running 195/50/15 on the steel wheels-- there's so much room in the wells that I can hear Echos. )laff(

(cry)

so- what harm could 40 offset make for you? And your width does not matter; that's the stock steel wheel's width and is about ideal for your tire choice-- and very much ideal for my lower profile choice.

I got a set of Konig Imagines about 4 months ago for my tC. They are 18X7.5 with a +35 offset. I wrapped them in 225/40's and they fit great with no rubbing. Hope this helps any body looking to mod their tC.

Are they flushed to the fender? Got any pix?

If you are running 195/60R15 on a Scion, you are already taller than factory spec (185/60R15)

True, but the speedo was never reset for american market. So the stock 185/60R15 is smaller then the stock JDM tires. JDM runs 185/65R15, so by running the tire you have listed, you will become closer to the perfect 0% error.

I'm a new xb owner. I used to be very deep into honda drag racing, was building a car to do left and right turns as well as strait-aways. Anyway, long story short, I dont do hondas now, but have honda stuff to trade for new fun stuff for my Xb. I have a set of 17 tenzo r pac 10's, they are offset for an acura/honda. I know I'm going to have a problem with the fitment of these wheels. I don't know who to contact about spacers (shims), or extended studs, can anybody help me?

what is the WIDEST rubber size that can fit on a tC?

Hey, i'm about to get an 18" x 7.5" rims with +42mm off set. will this fit on my 2006 scion xb? would it have any problems?

i have 17 x 7 +25 on 205/45-17 tires, i noticed its not on the list. no rubbing AT ALL front or rear

I have a 2006 xB w/18x7.5" Centerline RPM wheels. +42mm offset with 215/35R18 Tires. On stock suspension. No rubbing at all!! Hopefully it will stay that way when I install springs. Need OTG rear spacers for better appearance.

I want to get some 19x7.5" +45mm offset with a 2" inch drop. will this rub on my xB? will I need spacers?

ok I went with 18's 18x8 axis decade with the maxis lip, just ordered a set. also ordered a bunch of other crap but my curiosity is will these wheels rub on my xb with the tanabe df 210 springs?

I am getting these rims in 18x7.5!!!!!

http://www.wheelpros.com/wheels/detail.cfm?id=511

I am planning to get 215/35/18 tires!

I am not worried about rubbing problems, cuz I haven't lowerd it yet.

My question, what I do about offsets? need spacers? Lemme know! (I read this whole thread but I figured I like to hear myquestion get answered directly!)



did any ever answer your question....?

also the offset of the rims you were going to put on, what were they...? i'm planning on doing a 18x7.5 with +42 offset let me know what you think.

i'm already jealous.... i cant get my air suspension til feb... thanks for any help in advance.

I Just bought some Racing Hart 18x7.5 rims with a et42 and some goldline springs with van's rear shims..

What are my tire options for good fitment a 215/35/18 i know will fit but i'd like somthing bigger.
.
and will my goldlines be too low?

as well as should i get some 5mm spacers for the front from van(onetongarage)?

thanks for any and all info.

Hey just purchased my rims today with the same rim specs as yours....18x7.5 (42 offset) with 215/35 tires. Just wondering if they rub? (without spacers) If so will I need spacers (front and back) to correct this problem? Currently my xb isn't lowered but I plan on lowering it in the future.





did you ever get a response to your questions?

i'm planning on buying some 18x7.5 +42 rims.... how did they work out for you...

i currently have 2" goldline with 17x7 and have no issues... you think i'll run into any if i goto the larger size? thanks for any help in advance.

Hey, i'm about to get an 18" x 7.5" rims with +42mm off set. will this fit on my 2006 scion xb? would it have any problems?
They will fit up front but you may have some contact between the lip on the backside of the rim against the rear suspension cage.

I have 18 x 7.5 40mm offset, and before i put some OTG shims in i had litereally about a hair width of room between the backside lip and the cage.

ok I went with 18's 18x8 axis decade with the maxis lip, just ordered a set. also ordered a bunch of other crap but my curiosity is will these wheels rub on my xb with the tanabe df 210 springs?
what size offset?

Looking at 17x7.5 with a +45 offset. On an xA with a 2' drop, anyone know if this will rub?¿? I'm more concerned about the offset than anything. Any help would be great. :bow:

doesn't rub on an xB. i had that exact size, offset and drop on my xB in the beginning.

Ok guys,

Who do I order my spacers from??

Having never owned an xB or anything like it, would I have problems with 17x7 +40 offset on a 06 xB as far as fitment around suspension is concerned, I noticed alot of people posting issues about the rim hitting something in the rear, trying to avoid that...also looking for a good tire size, I was looking at 215/40/17 which indicates only about a 1mph speedo throw off.

ive since put one ton garage hub spacers and campber shims and my passenger rear fender rubs

do i need a wheel spacer?
what tire size is best?

This is the same set-up i have. W/O spacers, its almost flush with the fender. I dont have it lowered though. Not sure if lowering will cause rubbing problems. It's a nice look though, i've gotten many compliments on it.

Oh, and i have 225/40's.

okay...im just really trying to make sure about a wheel size im looking into..

for my xA i was thinking just 16s with a +40 offset..is that too big of an offset? i know its a dumb question with all the stuff in the beginning of this thread but i just REALLY want to make sure that i wont experience any rubbing.. :nails:

i also will install some rear shims soon, so that is also a factor...

I have a tC lowered on TRD springs.

Orlando and the guys at Auto Innovations did a great job mounting and balancing my rims and tires, as well as doing a much-needed alignment.

Rims:
RO_JA Formula 5 in gunmetal, 17x7, 5x100mm, +42mm offset, 70.5mm hub bore, 15.8 lbs. each (I weighed 15.5 on my bathroom scale, but that only has .5 lbs. precision).

I have plastic hubcentric rings with 54.1mm ID, 70.5mm OD, and it seems to work fine. No vibrations.

I had McGard spline lugs in black installed as well.

Tires:
Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S, 225/45/17

The paint sucks on the rims. I can already see a couple of nicks on the inner part of a couple of the wheels where paint is already coming off. I will probably have to get these powdercoated or something at some point. How much would that run me, and would it be durable? Add a lot of weight?

I'll have pics up in the other sticky thread soon.

P/C adds no extra weight (as they chemically remove the old paint first) and ran me $50/wheel about 10 years ago. Well worth it I say. Cheers.

i just read over the initial post, i just have a little twist to add. Don't assume that every tire has the same width and height. I don't know why but different manufactures measure tires a little differently. Here's an example of what i am taking about. Both Falken and Yokohama make a 205.45.17 tire. Falkens 512 and Yokohamas AVS ES 100 These two tires are not the same width. The AVE ES 100 is wider and if used on a 17x7 wheel with a 40 Offset will rub on an XB without spacers. The Falken 512 will not. ???? Don't ask me why, manufactures (foreign) are a little odd. FYI

20x7.5 . . . . . . . 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 215/35-20 . . . . Rear needs 5mm spacer Front loses full turning radius (hits tow hook inside fender) Also fender needs to be moved back 1" towards pass/driv floor board.

If someone could add this to the first page please.

works with airride with major front fender work and rear door jam work.

does anyone know which car i can get a set of 15 inch steel wheel for the scion tc... hopefully a 15x7 any helps appreciated

Im also running Progress Springs which drop 2"+ and no rubbing issues.

I have 17" Drag wheels +40 offset with 215/40ZR17 and no rubbing at all (not lowered yet either).

I found you can put 225/35/18 Toyo Proxy or Nitto 555 tires w/o rubbing and 2" drop Plus get some wheel lip protection because the tire hangs over a bit.

what up guys im new here but my question was is there any way i can fit 20's in my xb and if i can what mods will i have to do

My new set up 20 by 7.5, 45 offset i believe, pirrelli 225/30/20, tanabe df210 drop more than 2 inches. Things to make that fit....... in the rear the plastic mud flap (i guess you could call it) was removed. In the front on the fire wall side plastic was trimmed and firewall was hammered back then coated with silicone and rubber under coat and front plastic was trimmed were the fender meets up with the bumper http://memimage.cardomain.net/member_images/6/web/1170000-1170999/1170227_41_full.jpg

^^^^ SICK FITMENT!!!

has anybody tried fitting the Sportmax 002 15x8 0 on to an XA

those would need fender flares. BIG ones :)

OK, I have a 2006 RS 3.0, and just bought a set of 19" TRD rims for it. Will i need spacers? Rims have an offset of 44 and are 19x7.5, tires are on order pirellis pzero 215-35-19. Does anyone out there who own this style and size of rim require spacers, and did the 2006 model change from the 2005? Please help.

Does anyone out there who own this style and size of rim require spacers, and did the 2006 model change from the 2005? Please help.You should have zero fitment problems with the TRDs. The only thing I would suggest is the One Ton Garage rear spacers that go behind the rear backing plates. It will bring the rear wheels out almost even with the fronts.

I just got a rs 3 also I am planning on getting tsw rockets 18x7, with 215/40/18 and goldline springs, with monroe sensa tracs does anyone see any issues here?

No issues as long as your wheel offset is 40mm or so. Don't forget the One Ton Garage rear spacers though.

what size spacer?

They are 10mm spacers that go behind the rear backing plates. They come with all the bolts and instructions for an easy install.

Anybody running 17x7.5 +45 Wheels with 215/40/17 Tires with an xA? I'm planning on it. Also, will this be a problem if it's dropped on Goldlines?

I haven't lowered my xB yet but I am puttin some 18 x 7.5 wheels with 215/35ZR18 tires.
Will I need spacer on the front or rear?
If so wut size would be good?

Thanx

Wheel size: 15x7

Comments: Fits fine and lowers the car even more, but leaves a big wheel gap. The speedometer is obviously affected.

I plan to try 195/60-15's next. Does anyone have any experience with that one?

Changed my wheel choice and I am getting 18 x 7.5 I would like to run 235 35 18 or

looking at some 17x7.5 they come in 45 et and 35et.Will the 35 et fit..

Yeah. . . I love 'em. . . decreases the wheel gap a bit, and actually doesn't mess the speedo up too badly. In fact, I think I think it's more accurate on taller tires. By driving by those portable police radar speed displays, I found that my speedo is pretty damn accurate, even up to 75mph, it was still dead on. Maybe the stock speedo is grossly off?

The butt dyno doesn't feel much of a difference. . . and the car rides fine. I find that keeping the PSI high definitely helps.

17x7.0 . . . . . . . 38 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 215/45-17 . . . . xB stock

This implies then that the overall tire height will be equal to the stock tires, therefore not affecting speedometer?

I really should know the answer to this but I want a professional opinion.

xB. With DF210's.

Wanting to get 15 OR 16x7" wheels with with +35 or +40 offset.

First, which would be the better offset? (I would like the wheels to look fat y0)

Second, what is the best tire size to get maximum width and contact points, (I want them to look as wide as possible but not rub)

Thanks a bunch!

on a 15x7 wheel you want a 40 offset, and tire size you could probably go 215/55/15.

Alright.

So +40 should be cool for 16x7, too? Along with like a 215/40 or 45 tire?

I am pretty steamed about this - I bought the wheels as a dealer option, motegi FF7s, which are offered by every dealer in my area. how could anyone possibly have thought that these fit? I have only had them on a short time...I bought them with the car, but soon swapped out the stockers for winter. I have only actually run a few thousand miles in them, but tonight, as I was installing some spacers, I found that the spacers were going to be much more than just a cosmetic mod.

Alright.

So +40 should be cool for 16x7, too? Along with like a 215/40 or 45 tire?

here are the numbers I came up with..
215/45/17, 17x7=24-6 height
215/50/16, 16x7=24-5 height..
here is the link and you can play with your own numbers.. really cool

i'm trying to figure out this whole bore thing but i've searched and still don't understand it....the post says the tC's bore is 54.1 mm.....i'm looking at enkei rs7's which have a bore diameter of 72.6 mm.....will this still fit? if so, will it need hubcentric rings or anything like that due to the bore difference?

They make up the difference between the hole of the wheel and the size of the hub. Basically centering the wheel on the hub so there is no wobble. Hope this clears it up for ya. :bow:

thank you very much!!

What the 54.1 and 72.6 above mean to you is that the Scion has a 54.1mm diameter 'bump' sticking out of the middle if the place you will mount your wheel, and there is a 72.6mm diameter 'hole' in the back center of the wheel that goes over that bump.

To make the two match, so that the bump keeps the wheel properly centered on the axle, you need a 'hubcentric ring' that has an outside diameter of 72.6mm and a hole in it's middle of 54.1.

When the ring is put in the wheel's hole and then the whole works put on the car, everything is properly centered. All the lugs and lug nuts do is hold the wheel on - they don't really play a part in centering the wheel.

Hope that made some sense. :D

OOHHHHHH yes now i understand....we tried to fit my wheels on a friends jetta cause he wanted to buy them.....thats the problem we ran into but we thought it had something to do with the brakes....the jetta's bump thingy was bigger than the tc's so they wouldn't go on....is there any way to bore out the hole in the wheel to make it fit on the jetta's or is that asking for way too much work? the measurement came out that we would need an extra 1/16th of an inch all around.....

A machine shop COULD machine out the center to the proper size on a lathe, but it would be a very exacting job that most probably wouldn't want to do. Get that center bore off-center, and you've just ruined a wheel.

ouch aight thanks

singleshotI've got 215/45/17's and they are tight at the front of the rear wheelwell lip (I can barely fit a fingers witdth). I'm thinking the 215/50's will be too tall and rub that spot.
I say go and mount one up and test-fit it on the rear. You'll see what I mean.

Well, searching got zero results, and reading though this thread didn't help......

4Hx100 @ 14x6.5 +40

Will they fit on an xB?

The offset is OK, its 4 lug, etc...........I just didn't know about having a 14" on there, if it will clear everything.

Yeah, I know everyone is doing huge 18" rims and whatnot.............but these rims are *really* unique.

There have been some 14s on some xBs, but it depends on the design of the wheel itself on whether or not it will fit and clear. I don't know of any way to assure that without test fitting the actual wheels.

i had 14's before.


jethro why would you run 215/45/17's? rather large don't you think ?

i had 14's before.


jethro why would you run 215/45/17's? rather large don't you think ?They actually fill the wheel well nicely. Plus it gives me a nice sidewall thickness for pothole protection. No rubbing issues either with 17X7 +40 offset

has anybody had a rubbing issue with 215-40-r17's on thier scion? This is the tire size that I am going to get I just need to know if there is any rubbing issues during driving or hard turning. Let me know or PM me with spacer info if you are using it.

Solarxb20 , You will be fine with that size. even with my 215/45/17's I only rub slightly with 4 people in the box when hitting large bumps.

I've got a stock xB, and I want to use the stock steelies, but put on 205/50-15 tires, will I have fitting problems with the steelies?

(I know, I know, I should be getting rims as well, but budgetary constraints say tires and that's it...)

As usual, I appreciate all the help you guys can give!

Thanks!

anyone know the recommended tire size for 18x9.5 my sportmax 006 came in today and i need find out what tires size to run.. i have 18x8.5 in the front and i think im going to go 215/35/18.. i've read and they say to go 225/35/18 on the 18x9.5

hi....I want to buy tires for my XB'06 for enkei CDR 9, 18 " w/ 40 offset wheels, the questions is what is the right size for it ?.....w/ out any modification on the suspension.
some people said is going to be 215/35/18 or 215/40/18. thank's

ok rims and tires are on. 225 35 18's on 18 x 7.5 +40 offset

No rubbing issues at ALL. no need to grind or do anything. fits perfect and looks amazing!

thank's Weeman, for the pics......that give idea about how its look and the fitment....excellent jobs........... :clap: :clap: :clap:

does anyone know the backspacing in inches for a stock wheel?

Will a 16x7 (205/50/16)wheel with +35 offset rub in front on an xB?
How about +25?

Would 17x9 +20 fit and xB?
What size tire for this rim?

anything will fit. how much money do you want to spend to get it to work properly is the question.

spacers work great, anything over a 5mm you will want longer studs inorder for the lugnuts to "bite" properly. either that or a wide-tread spacer that includes new studs already. it will turn your +20 rim to a +40 or more depending on how far you push it out. 17 x 9 with a +20? how deep is that dish? that sounds like some serious lipage....

Finally finished installing 215/50-17 tires on my xA. Had to do a slight amount of trimming on the front plastic wheel well liners. Also had to do some fairly heavy hammer work on the back of the front fender wells. Finished the job by applying undercoat and a tube of black GE silicone II. Looks great, hard to tell any work was done in the fender wells. Rear installation required no mods at all.

With the larger tires, engine RPM at 70mph is now 7% lower, its like having a 6th gear.

Nice pic.. I'm putting 18's on my car today. I'll have pics soon

I put 205/55/15's on my stock alloy wheels, they fit great, look great. The guys at Just Tires said he was amazed they fit so well, looks like how it should have been all along. I have no rubbing problems at all. The only thing you should be aware of is with the wider tire the car will "track" more, that is follow the road groves/bumps. I notice this only at low speeds, on the hiway its fine.
As for speedo issues, no issue, less than .07% faster, at 60 it is actaully 60.4 not noticible at all.

see calculator from previous posts..

(I know, I know, I should be getting rims as well, but budgetary constraints say tires and that's it...)

As usual, I appreciate all the help you guys can give!

Thanks!

they will fit but your speedo will read too high with those tires.[/quote]

I noticed some threads with concerns with wheel weight, and ran into this http://www.wheelweights.net/ . Now it may not be a complete list but it's a start.

I am getting ready to get some 215/ 40R-17s but I am writing to ask all you people who have larger rims, what is the quality of the ride like? I know that the ride isn't the best with the stock rim size so I am wondering how rough or how bad it gets when I up the size. Thanks for you help guys!

The guys at the Tire Rack said "every inch you go up in rim size you will lose 10% of your ride quality-comfort that is, but with improved cornering"

I have 16x7.5 rims with 50 series tires and the ride is now more rigid, but it handles way better, it's more responsive in the corners and the wider tires stick like glue.....

So how noticeable is the change in ride quality for you after you put your 16s on? Are you satisfied with the comfort? I just don't want to fork out a bunch of money then be unhappy with my "box" because the ride is rough.

The change in ride quality is very noticeable with my 16's, but I love my 16's and wouldn't trade'em for anything, the cornering grip is so tight, especially with suspension mods

I have heard that 17's with 215/40's is a rough ride and potholes and bumps can be bone-jaring at times, that's why I went with 16's, but then again a ton of people do have 17's so maybe it can't be that bad.....

How are the roads in Red Bluff, it's rural up there right? are there a ton of potholes and road imperfections? might wanna consider that. I here it is hot as hell up there in the summer, like the oven of Northern Cali.

Hope this helps...

"Keep the rubber side down"

Hey thanks for all of your help. This will help me greatly in my decision. Yeah it is pretty rural up here and there are some bad roads. The summers up here suck! On the thermostat at my house it hit 119 degrees and we had two weeks straight where it was 110+. Crazy crap! :blah: Anyways thanks again!

Yeah No problem.....Just chattin with the Scion Peeps......

Wow that's HOT! When I lived in Davis, Ca it got pretty close to that, but 119 OUCH! I am in the Bay Area so the Ocean Breeze Cools us down.

I am running 205/45-17 Toyo Proxes 4 tires and am VERY happy with them. When the 215/45s wear out I probably will end up with 215/40s. I started out with the narrower width tire to be on the safe side of fitment for when I eventually lowered the xB.

I did not notice much of a decrease in ride comfort with the 205/45. There is slightly more road noise at highway speeds on certain road surfaces, like worn/eroded concrete.

Last night I installed TRD springs. Today I am seeing only 20mm of the expected 30mm drop. Once the suspension sets I will be able to check/verify for proper clearance for the 215 width.

what's the wheel torque spec on the scion xb? i'm too lazy to look at my manual at the moment? hehe...

what kind of lug nuts are you guys using? the stock ones won't cut it! :tap: :) :P :rofl: :pray: :doh: :) :)

na.

Just installed my new wheels!

Motegi RT5, 17x7, 42 offset with Falken Ziex 215/45-17 tires. Happy to say that there is zero rubbing, no spacers needed. Full lock turns are fine. There is 1/8"-3/16" between the tire and swingarm. No need to grind the tooling boss off the swingarm.

Two things...the setup is only 1" in diameter difference or 1/2" taller ride height but the car looks really tall now. Needs a drop! And I am thinking of OTG 10mm rear hub spacers too. The front looks so good now, the rears could stand to push out more. Looks like plenty of room for 10mm, probably could go 20mm without too much trouble.

Ride is similar to stockers. Maybe slightly stiffer @40psi, but not a day/night difference. No freeway or potholes yet though.

Sure looks better!

wow 17 , 18 ,19,s didnt think the choice would be so difficult
where is the best place to order some wheels and tires?

hi guys i hope someone can answer a question here. i got 4x stock scion xa 15" tires /hubcaps, the size are P185/60R15 and have 5,000 Mileage on them. Someone wants to buy them but i cant make up a decent price range for it, anyone in mind have a price range for these that satisfies me and the person? thanks.

Ok, I have been running a 17 x 7 inch Konig Unknown rim in a 40 offset with 215/40/17 tires for over 20,000 miles and have never had a rubbing issue...By the way, Iam dropped 2" on the Gold-Line springs...Tonight, I just installed a 10mm OTG shim and a 5mm OTG spacer to the rear wheels and it looks awesome...So technically speaking, my rear went from a 40 offset to a 25 offset and I still have ZERO rubbing issues and it looks alot better...Sits almost flush with the outer fender!

Just had my wheels installed last night...running 18x7.5 Enkei RZ-5's on 215/35R18'S...I haven't noticed any rubbing problems yet...but I want to get spacers for the rear's...should I go with 10mm from OTG?[/quote][/code]

^^^Not sure what your current offset is but I would guess it would be around a 42 since it's the Enkei 18 x 7.5's...If so, I believe a OTG 10mm shim would be perfect...It would put you at a 32 offset...The shims are easy to install as stated in my earlier post!

yeah the offset is 42...forgot to add that part :lalala: thanks for the info on the size...i'll post some before and after pics once i get them and install them

hey yall ,
what does the off set mean , in which way are they off-set? and does 42 a big difference than 43? i jus bought some 42 off-set withh 225-40 pirreli and 18x7 rimms. and they dont fit they barely rub in the front when i turn. anybody knows what to do please holla at me. later BB

The higher the offset, the further the wheel is to the inside of the fender well....The lower the offset the closer they are to the outer fender...It sounds like you need a 5mm spacer from onetongarage.com

hey man i dont think that spacers will work,but correct me if i'm wrong,my tires rub on the inside , in the back of the tire, when i turn so if i put a spacer it will force it even more into the wall? right ? i think i'm gonna go and try to trim some of the plastic well wall out, just where the plastic over laps itself. so i should'nt mess up the quality of the well wall. and that should give me atleast 3/4 of an inch space. would that be enough? right? thanks again, BB.

wheel size: 18x7.5 +35mm offset
tire size: 215/40-18
suspension: Hotchkis Springs/Anti-Sways

Rubs in front when wheels are turned. Looking into spacers before I start cutting the plastic fenderwell lining.

Rears are fine. Hey man What did you do about your rubbing?

^^^^^^I PM'd ya...^^^^^^^^

16" x 7"
40mm offset
67.1mm hub bore


will that work on an xB? i belive so but i wana make sure....thanks

good to know :)

TheScionicMan,

what kinda wheels are those? they look cool

you can fix 20" by 7 1/2

Need ALL the specs for the xB/xA 18 inch TRD Racing Hart Evolution wheels please. Weight,width and backspacing. I searched and searched and can't find anything except diameter. Thanks!

what about 15x7 with an offset of 0

I have to put the stock wheels back on for the winter - are 185 65 15s ok? I would assume they are...

how far will the 0 offset oush the wheels out

0 off set is half of whatever the rim width is.

Okay I've looked through this and I couldn't find it, but lets say I want 15x8 with +25 offset. How will that look different from the stock wheels. Will it fill out the gap just enough or will it pertrude out of the fender? I want them to be just flush with the fender after I drop the car. I'd probably run 205/50/15 for tires.

17x7.0 et38 offset with 205/40/17 tires and with 25mm rear wheel spacers. rear fenders are cut, never rubs, very very low...
