Does any 18x8 +25 rim fit the xB? Does the design matter?

As far as I know, yes. For example... if you go to the Fabulous website (http://www.fabulous.co.jp) look at the specs for the the Fabulous Profound Wheels on the bB, you'll notice that they are:

Front: 18inch x 8.5 + 18mm offset
Rear: 18inch x 9.5 + 18mm offset

I'm not clear on what (if any) mods they did but you can see it with your own eyes if you go to the website.


Peace,

Can't wait for an xB!

Shoot. I'm not sure. I'll ask Van when he get's back from his Japan trip.

thanks for posting those matt! How would you rate drivability, feel, etc? Especially in comparison to the inperios?

Good to see you got some daytime pics up of the car Matt! The tires on those wheels are a little bit lower profile than one would probably want to run on a Scion... I put those on because I wanted to put the wheels on here:

It's weird, but in static shots, and when the car is standing still, I really do prefer the way the white Inperios look on Matt's white car... but from a 3/4 angle, or in motion, the wheels with lips just RULE!

16's are it...with those tires too only thing is i would want the wheel wells right at the top, or just below the tire to pull off 16's...SICK!!!

i'm seriously thinking about doing 16's though i would have to get rid of my set-ups first...so says wifey and have to go with some type of coilover set up as well...VAN? :D
