Hello Everyone, I know what offset means and does but when they say "0" offset, does that mean it will push the wheels all the way out?, thanks Sean

Either of:

1. The mounting surface is right at the center line of the wheel. Which would push it way out, but not as far as a negative offset.

2. Someone forgot to enter the actual offset into the database and the value defaulted to zero.

Thanks for the replies guys, Hope it's the second situation, but if it actually has 0 offset would it work on Xb on 16x7 or 15x7 wheels??, Sean

If you're talking about the wheels below, I don't think they're even offered in the correct PCD.

7" width wheels with ET0 would be way too aggressive on a Scion (assuming you don't have fender flares). The wheels would stick out of the fenders close to an inch per side in the front, and probably about a ½" per side in the rear.

ooh, oooh, the old mini-truck look!! hrm, well the lowest I've seen is the teens offset on M@'s xB, search for "M@ Camber", should be the first thread... but a little extra than flush doesn't look bad on the xB

You guys should see wheels with negative offsets in the teens, and widths in the teens too. Vipers would be jealous...
M@ and Wes has seen them. I'll post pics in a little while.. :)
