Default Wheels question, Anyone knows?? 18's - UPDATED 03/31 w/pics

Quick question for anybody.
Finally got things moving with the new xA after the accident.
I am getting the TRD wheels in 18.

Will they fit OK??

I also have the TRD springs. Will the tire rub?

Anyone knows somebody with this set up??

Thanks

You will be just fine with the TRD wheels and with or without the springs. You will NOT rub as long as you get the right tire size. I ran a 215/35/18 Falken tire on my 18s and had no problems.

Thanks every piece of feedback helps.

Yes, they come as a tire & wheel set, and I think the tire is 35

So I will go ahead and order them

I try to post the pics

Thank you for all the info. I just ordered the TRD wheels in 18's even when 19's are available. I want to go safe against any rubbing. I went with the 35's for tire size and they should be here between tomorrow and Monday. I can't wait

The springs will go on on Saturday

So what would you recommend to be the next step?? Intake? Header? Susp. Bar/s? Exterior?

They arrived!!! Thank goodness.
Yes I was supposed to receive the TRD wheels maybe on Monday but they arrived early. So i had to go and get them installed asap.

Thanks for the feedback, you were right. They look very nice and do not rub anywhere with 215/35/18
I will post pics asap
Thanks

Hurry up and install your TRD springs ASAP!

Wheel gap + bigger wheels = EXTREME NASTINESS

Consider springs that lower more than the TRD ones. A one inch drop is really conservative.

True. The TRD ones will go on first with the stock shocks. Once we get the adjustable shocks we'll go lower on both xA's ( I say we because the wife is limiting my check book and with good reasons, some of you out there know what I mean. Those married who say they own their cars are not really telling it all there is always another boss at home to negotiate with... ) Well anyway; it is a good start, and it is looking good!


Again thanks for the feedback during this process.
