I'm thinking of getting my stock XB steelies widened for 85 bucks each wheel... but I was hoping to find people in the forum that are from SoCal and are selling widened steelies... do you guys know anybody wanting to get rid of widened steelies? Thanks

 

watching.

 

thanks

 

that just seems so expensive to me. I dunno....

 

stupidest idea evr

 

it's just a look that I want. I mean one could say, hey your avatar is stupid or ugly but you seem to like it so it's probably beautiful to you... I think people value things differently since they see things differently. Heck many people probably think Xbs are ugly and someone even told me that the rear end of the Tc makes the car look cheap... but hey, we think theyre both awesome cars...

 

Try the socal forums at vwvortex and socal euro. I've never seen widen steelies on anything but VW's. 4 lug VW's (watercooled) are 4x100, so they'll fit your xB.

Thanks I appreciate that. There's actually acouple of XBers who have widened steelies. There was a thread on it. Thanks again I will try the Vdub forums...

 

Check these guys out www.mrt-wheels.com/

 

Thanks

 

steelies with lip = bad ___. even though this isn't the xb forum, let us know how it turns out

 

Thanks. I'll make sure to let you know how it turns out. Hopefully there wont be that much rubbing in the back. I'm actually going to install them on my project toyota tercel, so similar dimensions to a Tc.

 

Widened steelies with whitewalls would look bad ___. Too bad my car is silver. Maybe tires with a red line?

 

If your car is single color silver than yeah widened blackies with or even without a red stripe would make your car look very awesome...

 

Yeah I could even do a staggered setup. Maybe 9" rears. But I had my heart set on BBS LMs.

 

those are nice too. I think Tcs can pull off anything. Theyre beautiful

 

I supposed a tC owner could widen the 16" steelies off a spec tC, but about larger? I think some 5x100 VW's (new Beetle?) were available with 17" steelies. Did any WRX's come with 17" steelies?

These are 5x100 16s or 17s

 

Has anyone with a spec tc done this yet, Im really looking into it, deff something different.

 

did some research,

Stockton wheel, (http://www.stocktonwheel.com/wheel_widening.htm) says they can make a 16" into a 16x10.

I know i could fit a 16x10 in there, my only question would be the perfect offset?

They would deff be a stretch-poke fitment with the right offset and tire (I believe a 225/50/16 would work)

What offset guys? front and rear
