Prototype_xB 04-26-2005, 11:55 PM I do believe the offset is the same on the 18's as the 17's; I've seen one RS2 member with the 17's on his ride. If you get 18's, i'd suggest going with 215/35-18's as opposed to the 40's. The 35's are the recommended size for 18's, plus the 35's are smaller than the 40's and make the 18's look bigger than they would sittin on 40's. On a side note, i LOVE the Unknowns!!! They are the only other rims i would have gone with other than my Arceo's. Post some pics up if you decide to go with these. Prototype_xB 04-26-2005, 11:58 PM Oh, but if you wanted to run 40's for comfort then i would think you might have a tiny big of scrub when turning sharp. My 35's are a bit rough over bumpy roads, but they're so tiny! That's why i love em' grizzly_choppers 04-27-2005, 02:53 AM The Unknown is a good looking wheel. Cisco is running them on his and it's sweet lookin' (his are 17" though): http://scinergyia.com/modules/gallery/albums/album03/cisco_xb_rim.sized.jpg The 215/40R18s will work, but clearance is REALLY close. Another of our club members (Princess) is running them without problems on her summer wheels (no drop on her box so I don't know if that will change things): http://scinergyia.com/modules/gallery/albums/album03/HPIM1909.jpg Personally, I like the look of the 215/35R18s. I've had 12000 trouble free miles with them on my TRD 18s you can see my car right next to Princess' car here: http://www.grizzlychoppers.com/lineup.jpg -Alex grizzly_choppers 04-27-2005, 03:04 AM You know what? I'm looking at Cisco's rims and thinking they might just be 18s. I'll have to ask him. I can't hunt that info down anywhere. Sorry, I'm a moron sometimes. I'll get back to you on this one. All the other info is valid though and the pics are pretty so I'll leave 'em. -Alex Prototype_xB 04-27-2005, 03:05 AM kaotekxB, /\/\/\/\/\ notice the size difference in Princess's 40's compaired to my 35's: http://i4.photobucket.com/albums/y123/Prototype_xB/Springs1.jpg ShredSled 04-27-2005, 03:39 AM Those Unknown's are sweet. Everybody's getting them though... crayonBOX 04-27-2005, 03:56 AM get these: http://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=58698 :) grizzly_choppers 04-27-2005, 02:22 PM Okay, Cisco's rims: http://scinergyia.com/modules/gallery/albums/album03/cisco_xb_rim.sized.jpg are 18". He's running 215/35ZR18 tires with the TRD springs (about a 1" drop) and has had no problems. Sorry for the earlier confusion. -Alex UnFocused 04-27-2005, 03:35 PM stick with 215/35/18 - that keeps the same height as the stock tires. also check out edgeracing.com - they have the best prices! I paid $115 (shipping included) for Falken ziex 512's- LOVE THEM! scion_xb_guy_05 05-09-2005, 10:59 PM how much are the 18" unknowns??? i am interested in them aswell!! they are really nice rims!!! |
