I was just if anyone has an xA with 18 in rims on it? What kinds of issues come up? Pics?

 

those are 18x7.5. and i have the trd lowering springs also. no real issues but apparently others are having problems with rubbing. but i can give you some advise, stay away from curbs, potholes, and anything in the road.

 

ill resize my pics and post, right now they are huge, but i have 18's, wit 215/35/ZR18 Nitto Z rated tires, and Eibach Sporline lowering springs, no problems at all.

 

Don't mind the car...I was doing some work on it at the time. This is the best shot I have though of the rims right now, but this is from about 8 months ago. I have 18x8 on the front. No rubbing at all. I have 18x9 in the rear. Had to use a 1/2" spacer to clear the lower frame brace. Because of the spacer, the wheels are flush with the side of the car. Spring travel causes rubbing. 18x8 in the back though i'm sure wouldn't be a problem, expecially if you go with a normal offset. Mine are +38 front, +32 rear. For tires, it's 225/35-18 front, 245/35-18 rear.

If you are worried about rubbing, don't go larger than 8".

 

 

Just had to say to Echo2k1 and BCS...sweet lookin rides man. I especially like the gold rims with the blue color. It's very Subara WRX. Great job.

 

I tried on 205/50/16 today and it rubbed. Any reasons why?

BTW...I now have 17" 7 wide rims, and my little rubbing problem is fixed. No damn spacers. No more whining noises. Better handling. Lessened the rotating mass. Overall, I'm glad I moved down from 18" 7.5 wide

I LOVE your headlights please tell me what you did. Thanks.

 

I'm assuming your talking to me? If so, its just the "headlight protection kit" from www.headlightarmor.com in gt yellow (I think its called). You can find it on their website they have a special promotional code (for scionlife members) in the sponsored sales forum (comes out to alot less then whats listed on the website at least it did when I bought from them a few months back). Its kinda' _____ to put on but I think the finished product looks good. I also have some homemade eyebrows on top. Thats about it hope that helps.

echo2k1, how did you get your head lights that color?

 

xA's look awesome on 18's

staypuft: Where did you get the grill? Looks awsome!

 

That came off the AutoFashion xA, Its a kenstyle grill, Lots of guys dont like it due to the rather large gap it kleaves between the hood and the top lip of the grill... I also painted the mesh black a few weeks ago and looks much better imo
