ScionVan

Just an interesting note, that the Scions seem to be able to take the EXACT same wheel fitments (in terms of bolt pattern and widths and offsets) as the NB (later-model) Miatas. This includes the fact that the rears can take a wider, and lower-offset rear wheel.





You can see the amount of flushness between the wheel and fender on this Miata is about on par with the Scions... actually, the Scion rear should have just about 1-2mm MORE room on the outside!!

gawd damn, those would be killer on a xB...very nice on the miata, but better suited on a cruiser type wagon

I was talking to a friend last night telling him which wheels I was getting and he remarked that the fitment was the same as his Miata.
That means for this car the proper wheels are easy to find, unlike my Subaru :?

Mr_scion

with a stretched tire is there n-e propblem u may have that u could not have with a normal fitting tire?

CleanS14

There are a lot of potential problems... there is always the possibility of the wheel getting messed up if curbed and such. Also if there is no bead the tire may simply come off... in the depicted case it maybe VERY possible. A lot of people like myself use stretch tire to achieve fitment goals and performance/driving characteristics. Stretched tire setups will ultimately allow you to stiffen up your sidewall so there is now give... good for sliding :D It also allows you to fit oversized wheels with low offset when you can't squeeze anymore camber or fitment mods to get your desired performance... so many things... but basically that's it.
