im gunna put them on my xA tomorow and drive to get them aligned

my question is do larger wheels effect my ability to break due to an increase of momentum on the tire because the wheel itself is larger, or do the lower profile tires compensate for the size and weight of the tire?

ill take some pics tomorow, im probably going to drop it about 1.5" in a few weeks when i get some more cash, life aint easy being 17 and working minimum wage : ( just wait till after college and i have a real job, then ull see a kick ___ scion!

Ability to break what? You mean brake as in stopping power? If so, than no, the rims will not affect your braking distance enough for you to notice, that is determined more by the type of tire you're running.

Nice wheels, but I would pass on the tires. I'd rather run stock than on cheapo tires, but that's just my opinion.
