Just bought me son an 04 xb with the 18in wheels the tire are 215/35-18.
the man we got it from made a comment that he's seen some with wider tires that looked really good, what the biggest tire you can put on without it rubbing ?

The first generation xB (what you have), have very limited room to work with being that it's so small. To stance it out would require some experience. What are the wheel specs? Because you should be able to get a a 225 on there, and that would look pretty good.

The wheels are the TRD 18x7.5 that can on the 2004 lava orange 1.0 release, looking for a little more meat the the 215/35/18 that came on it without having to do any modification. Any info is appreciated

235

Ok thanks so 235 /35-18 won't rub

criminaltc

Eh, with have an 18x7.5, I'd stick with 225's. You'll definitely be good then.

After looking at other ones I believe it's been lowered s least a couple in. Unless the 1.0 release just sits lower than the stock ones do you think the 225/35/18 would still work

criminaltc

Those xB1's have really small wheel wells so it may seem lowered. If the springs are black, they it's stock. If the springs are colored, then it's been lowered. 225's on a 7.5" will definitely be good.

Thanks for the info I'm still not to familiar with 18in wheels , is 225/35/18 the best tire or would another size be better like say 215/40/18 what would be the best tire size to go with?
Thanks for the help

I mean, that 40 is going to be more sidewall. I don't want you to buy the wrong thing by any means, but 225/35 should do it pretty nice for you. I think you'll be pretty happy with that. The 215 won't be that wide look you want and will have a fatter sidewall.

Definitely let me know if you have anything else, or what you end up with.
