Just bought a black 2012 black scion tc. Thinking about going with the black and chrome xxr527. Anybody Have any other wheel recommendations?

 

Ok so you got a black Tc2, you partial to just the 527s? The 535s in black would look sick, well just about any xxr rim would, but 527s is what i got in matte bronze. Depends what look you are going for. Black on black would be sick, black and bronze or black and gold, black on black rim with white or chrome lips. Heres what im running.

That looks good, did you lower your car?

 

Nope not yet, lol. Just running a wider rim on a narrower tire. 8.75in rim on a 7.5in yoko tire. That way when I do go low, more clearance.

 

What offset do you have?

 

Reused the stock tires. Bought the 18" 5-114.3 8.75" +20 offset. Ordered mine like 5 months ago and in the end they pushed back the date so I called nlm and spoke to Joe about getting the same ones just +20 offset cuz they had those in stock.

 

Oh okay. Yeah I heard the lowest number for the offset, the more the the rims stick out. I want mine tucked. So im thinking I should go with a 35 offset?

 

Depends, if you want to get 18" or 19", also if you plan on staying with 7.5" wide or 8.75". I personally like the HF look. But it's my opinion. Everybody's different. Good choice btw on the XXR's.

 

with an 8.75 width and a 35 offset you can still tuck in

 

Okay' yeah I want the tucked look. I appreciate everyone's opinion

 

You haven't had any problems with running a wider rim on a narrower tire?

 

Nah bro, it needs an alignment, but other than that no. I plan to drop it on some H-TECH's soon so I'ma wait until then to do an alignment.

 

Sounds beast dude.
I've been wanting some te37s but theu're expensive as fu***
So I've been looking into xxr's and I'm starting to like them better

 

If you like the Te's check out the XXR 522's that was my first choice too. I still plan on getting them later. But as of now I got the 527's on mine. My girl is getting the 535's soon.

 

Yeah I've seen the 522's and they look sick!
I still think if I go with xxr's it'll be the 527s. Your car has convinced me lol

 

You like mine? Check out this one.

Beast I need to go more low so I can get that look lol

 

You plan on staying with 18"? Cuz if you do you can reuse your stock tires, up to 8.75" wide. Helps a little bit if you wanna go a little lower. I plan to go with the H-TECH's and later a body kit. For now I'm going to see how the DIY garage door lip mod.

 

Yeah ima stay on 18s. Where did you order your 527's by the way?
That sounds awesome, I'm currently dropped on race land coilovers and hopefully before the year is out im planning to get the x-5 lip kit
