I would order two sets of sportmaxs if they came in a +20 instead of 0 offset.

Default Update...

Well I was thinking of selling them because of the look not being cool....and I was having problems with the right rear tire rubbing... but since I won 2nd best xA in EAF (las Vegas)and for Scion VIP....I thought well maybe not. I talked to BBist (Steve)and he said to run hubcentric spacers to get rid of vibration from the front end. So I ordered those and by the way I have adjustable Tein springs so I will raise it about 3/8" to get rid of the rear tire rubbing and I will post pics again. Lotsa of peeps were giving me props in Vegas,Ryan (redbaron, he has the red tc and also works on my car said "it's the way the car is supposed to look like"), I think
the sportmax 002 rims are retro inspired, makes the car look like it has muscles...Super Street photographers took a lot of pictures of my car...mmmm I also noticed the supersized wheels in the new xA commercial....
Maybe I'm starting something or maybe just being different is what Scion is all about.... thanks everyone.

The rear axle isn't centered on the car. If you look closely... one side sticks out slightly more than the other.

Default another xA

i got mine a while ago and haven't had any problems, i love the look. the only thing i would do different would be to go with some 195/55/15s instead of 195/50/15s, but in time when i need tires i can change that.

I personally dont like flares, maybe if someone blended them into the body then they'd be ok, but i havent seen anyone do that. If not they just look like something off a suburban with some shyte plastic tacked on.
