Hi, everyone! New to the forums.

I live in Cincinnati, Ohio and am considering buying a Scion xA when they're available at my local Toyota dealer. One question though:

What is are the largest rims you can put on an xA without doing any other mods? I'd like to put some 16- or 17-inch wheels on my car (I have a thing against tiny rims), but I don't want to mess with the stock suspension or make any additional changes to the body other than larger wheels and tires.

you wont have any problems with 16's or 17's. A lot of people are running 18's and 19's with no trouble.

18 inch rims are the largest I would go :)

I run 17"s on my lowered xA, but I think 18's would have been better....but now I'm considering using a high profile tire (225x45x17) to get a softer ride....

there are a couple people running 19's, but i think 17's or 18's are the perfect size.
