so Im thinking about getting rid of the lame 19" TRD wheels on my 1st gen XB!
they came with the car so of course they are better than steelies.
Now my question is stagger or not to stagger? I'm thinking about the Axis racer-x wheels, 15x7 up front 15x8 in the rear. The lip on the 15x8 is bigger so i think they will look good, i want to get them in the hyper silver since my car is Blue Onyx Pearl, i don't think the rose gold lip would look good on it! lemme know if i should go for it or not, if so do u recommend like a 50 or 60 series tire? or should i go low pros?

oh FYI the box is lowered about 1.5"

Go staggered. Just so you know, the 15x8 has a -26 offset so you will need flares. Also for tires, go 50 series. You can do like 205/50 all around. However on the rear, you might have to have the tire bead blasted on because of the wheels odd drop center.

Thanks man thats some great info !
i wanted to buy the flares anyway, now i actually have a reason too!!
so buy 15x7 for the front with a 4x100 bolt pattern
15x8 for the rear with a 4x100 bolt pattern as well as some fender flares due to the offset? with the offset does that require a camber kit or anything, spacers perhaps!?

Naw you wont need any spacers for the rear. As for camber, you can camber it if you want. All on your preference.

Hey if you need a price on the wheels, PM me. I carry Axis wheels. I work for Island Motor Sports. :P
