Default 09 Scion xB2 Stingray white wall tires.....

Here is our new 09 with a Sprint drop and white wall tires. I want the rear to come down a little bit more or the front up some. So what do you think?

ha! That's awesome!

it gives the car a whole new look. Add those half-moon hubcaps and you've got the hot-rod look down.

Did you paint those yourself? Definitely get some Tanabe DF210's and wheel spacers for front and rear and it'll look sweet. And paint the rusty looking front axle end black.

looks alright, do something with the wheels (caps or something) and it will look better. Nice job being unique!

I know I was wondering the same thing myself, I put the sprint springs in the front and back and that's how it came out. I will check into it today. do you think maybe the springs r in wrong? Maybe shock is bottomed out on rubber stop? I'm not sure. But I'm not happy with the rear springs. Give a little time and I'll get to the bottom of this

It's really hard to get a good viewpoint with those HUGE pictures.

How about a side view pic that is a normal size, to see both the whitewalls and the spring drop better.

i like it. i agree if you had some moonie center caps it would look tight. also. some of that custom hand painted pin striping that are on ratrods would set it off.

I love the white walls.! it is a unique look, and gives ti that classic hot rod feel. I just got my 2008 xB and have been planning to put white walls on it way before I bought it but I am having alot of diffculty trying to find a place to get white walls that will fit it Any suggestions...? what size tires are those?

I also want to but some smooothie wheels or baby moon hubaps on it, but it looks pretty good with just the black there, did you just take off the hubcaps?

Default Very nice

I am also 34m. Thought about doing the whole Rat Rod look. I went to Coker Tire website. And also found the 205/5016. The good thing is I looked at Mooneyes.com They make the moon covers for the wheels. After seeing your ride I am thinking of going back to the Idea.
