Just curious what the widest wheel anyone has seen on an xB is? I am planning something and just want to see what else is out there.

im not sur man thats a good question.i seen guys with some wide rims like 9-10s and bigger.. im running 9s in the rear. but i know for a fact their are people with wider rims.

On stock fenders, if you want to be very low. I don't see how you could get more then 9.5 under there. Although, I am pretty sure I've seen post about 10 inch wide wheels on someones car, but I am sure that took rolling the fenders and some camber. For the most part its only really limited by the amount of work you want to do.

my buddy is running 12's. his fenders aren't exactly stock tho. i run 9's in the rear.

I wil go wider than my 9's eventually. maybe ten and that's it. I would rather do metal fender lips and drop the offsets to +10 or so with a five bolt conversion. oh yeah. I'll have to go -5 camber on the rear too. I already have it planned. saw it on a JDM bB using a Spirits kit and Work Euroline SL's. car had 18x8.5/18x9.5. I'll try to get a pic of it somehow.

I guess you don't have to have 12' wide rims for some lip.

that is the dumbest looking thing ever.

gah damn, hot as heck. :clap:

know how much camber that is?

too much

yuck.....cant say i like that pic.

well, then VIP is to virgin for your eyes I guess. Of course, as soon as some one does it California, it'll be the hottest thing since Wasabi. But that's my next step. fenderlips and really deep wheels. Like it or not...

I agree...its like Ludacris song...WHEN I MOVE you move just like that.....

If Cali do it then we all do it...Its time people set standars...experiment...be different...

Much Props to all my peps over in Cali (much love)

Be the KING of your Block...and let the Bb be all she could be.....

I wont tell people how to spend their money but if you going to spend it..
do it right.....


Jim instead of 10's do 11's /5

Maybe I will

I love that pic. VIP is just getting started to spread nationwide. Some might like it and some might not. Set the standards.

-23 and - 15 degrees of camber? Ok, now I love some camber. I have 4 degrees in the rear and 1 in the front but that is just dumb.

come on man stop teasing ..........show us some side view pictures :come: :come:

Is that an 18 inch or 15 inch rim? I thought stretching my 165s was tricky... this one is way beyond that...

Peace :bow:

The wheel in that picture are my 18x12s next to the stockies before I put the new tires on them, I stretched 245/35/18 on them here the picture of them with Mike R. one of the JDMPalace Crew,

Here something interesting for you guys and more to come :lalala: :ttth:

wtf^^^^^^ looks messed up. not crazy VIP looks quite like that. close but not what I have seen. VIP/Boso/YAnkee style or whatever else there may be. just doesn't look right

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: I ws just messing,
That is a messed up situation, I got out of the car and saw the wheel and tires like that, those are my 11s with 215 on them, I don't know how long I was driving like that, all I know since that day I love Nankang because they saved my rim, there was not single scratch on the wheels.

Wow, lucky it didnt turn ugly. Is that a new type of run-flat tire?

Peace

:P :P :P, they seems to have pretty soft sides that's why I use them for most of my wild stretches but they did hold up while I was driving them like that, one thing I suggest to everyone is, check your tire pressures every other week or so if you running stretch tire, it could save you $$.

more pics..

why the hell are you guys stretching tires? That is the stupidest sh*t I have ever seen. If you can't afford tires to fit the rims, don't do it in the first place. On top of that, why does an xB need a f*ckin' 11" rim in the rear? Its front engine, front wheel drive, are you worried about losing traction when you launch?

:loser:

:loser:

Its a style that many people like and strive to achieve, no need for calling people losers if thats what they want. There are entire car class categories regarding this style so it is an accepted style at some car shows.

Peace

People strive to achieve that?

Please enlighten me as to the point? Is it purely cosmetic? If so, it looks so ridiculous, and dangerous. You could spark forest fires with that garbage if the rim hits the road or you corner at faster than 1 mph.

I'll almost bet that most people on this thread are stiving to achieve some sort of that style to a degree........I have been strangely attracted to it but would never go to this degree but it is nice to see how creative other people are ......there is no need to make fun of others just because it doesen't fit """"""" YOUR STYLE """""" If you don't like it don't look

If you read my post you will see that I referred to myself, meaning my opinion. Everyone can do whatever they choose to do. I also did not make fun of anyone specifically by stating the ridiculousness of the wheel/tire combination above.

It is just the ultimate oxy moron to purchase a car designed with for functionality and then break it.

Also, a 235 series tire (for example 235/45/17) can fit in the xBs wells. These tires (over 9 inches wide), are wider than the stretched tires pictured above, providing better grip and functionality to the xB instead of crippling it and or damaging it.

I just want to insure people are not being mislead into thinking that a 15" wide rim with 215/40 tires stretched onto it is the only way to equip a wider tire on the xB.

Its like practical joke, I have nothing better to do with my time, ridiculous.

So, this is my opinion, if you don't like it, you don't have to read it.

EvolutionxB .. if u dont like the style dont say nothin.. some times its better that way..

Dude, do some research before you come out like this and make yourself look like ........ !! I'm not even going to respond to you since that is just your personal close minded opinion !!

sean post up the milk carton pic.

Lets both take a corner @ 30 mph and see who comes out without any damage. What area do you live in, if I hear of any brush fires, I know who to direct the authorities toward.

Also, I'm free to express my opinion, and I'm stating factual information.

Instead of replying with worthless words, you should reply with information explaining some of the reasons why this is popular, and how it is even physically possible or safe.

If you want people like me to be quiet, educate me so I can understand.

:P :P :P
Damn I guess the box is your only car that's why you like practice in it and take corners with it !! For me this my little toy car and I got my other car for taking corners in !!

____ I'm not here to educate you, they got school for that !!
WWW.VIP-STYLE-UNIVERSITY.COM (http://google.com)

As other members said this is a STYLE and if that is not enough for you then again all I can suggest is to do more research, and use search option on this site. There has been enough talk about this for the past couple of years which should be enough information for you to get a hang of the style !!Enjoy your little box and read read read !! I live in NorCal area and if you like take corners lets do it any time you like and I would be more than happy to even take you on a 75mph corner on my other car :silly: :silly:

Hey, did some research and some thinking.

Sorry for raining on your parade. You may want to check the width of your tire to the width of your rims though. Only recommendations I saw were stretching a 245 on a 10 inch rim, not a 12.

You don't know what I ride in, so don't assume. I know what handling is and what cars can and can't do it. I'll give you a hint, it outruns 360 Modenas on Tsukuba.

Anyway, as I understand it, its like art, and certain people appreciate certain styles and artists, so apologies. I was looking at it from a functional stand point.

Thank you for the link.

Peace.

You didn't rain on anything; buddy !! I like to take things a little bit over the top so if I wanted to fit these on a Box that was the only option I had and I am proud of a wild stretch like that !! So if it is not your style sorry about that !!

Sorry, I just had to laugh at this statement. Sounds like you're watching too much Best Motoring DVD's. :P :silly: :rofl:

I might also add that some of those battles, btw, are staged (been to several).

*flame suit on*

why talk smack, you compete against a xB like that. Once again props to you. I like the new standard set for the car. I won't cop your style as I also know about that kinda look and have been planning the same thing. Prolly not the best place to post pics as most Scions here get riced. It's great to see a nonriced one these days. I'd keep o the VIP forums and le tthe others wonder where all the cool cars are.

sean is taking us to the next step.....thank you sean for doing something NEW around here. being different is always good

Man that is the toughest looking M F er I have seen on here all hail the V I P chief :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow: :bow:

I dont care what the craze is in Cali Its butt ugly

Krazy! Gotta give mad props to Sean.

congrats on the 1st place Wild trophy too... for it's debut show... it got all the attention... :bow:

where did you show your ride???????please give us more pictures :come: :come:

that's no craze in Cali cuz I'm in Chicago and going a similar route in the next couple years. just not as aggressive

People Buy cars just to buy them now days........

Bb's are ment to be different....there are guys out there that think the own little
Fast Civics.....recognized that the box its slow.....and it must be hook up for show......

Even if you cant read or understand Japanese...buy the magazines and look @ pictures / Educated yourself....and dare to be different.....


I do admire the hard work alot of VIP owners go thru.....

You must pay to play......

MONEY TALKS>>>>>>
