Here's mine on 16x7 +40 Slipstreams. Stock rubber for now. Dropped on TRDs.



Simple, clean and easy on the wallet.

 

16s are the only way to go up here in Maine. The roads are already bad enough...

 

hmmmmm i thinkin i might do that. what do you like better. having that super wide tire. or getting normal with and offeseting them .so it looks like it has wide tires. that way handling isn't decreased. i drive like an super cool douchebag so i like the wide profile look but i heard that having super wide/heavy tires/rims can really decrease the handling.

 

super wide

 

Is this thread for Gen 2's only. I have some 16x8 Sportmax/XXR 501's on my 1st Gen. Very similar to what the OP posted.

Can be seen here.. http://www.itsmyscion.com/PakanaHerruus

I can post pics up.. but dont wanna If I am the only person posting a first gen. hah.

 

marked, you need to drop your ride low

 

225/50/16s and 10-15mm spacers in the rear for the perfect look!

 

aight. so give me what tire size you got then. you notice any decrease or increase in performance with your wider heavier tires?

 

stock rubbers that came off the stock wheels, 205/55/16. suspension, there is an increase in performance. ill give you a better description next week after i drive a stock xb.

 

how did that work? because i didn't think the tires would stretch. because u must have wider rims right?

 

correctamundo, the tires are stretched. Its nothing the tires cant handle though.

 

isn't that usually bad for the tires?

 

nope, this has been done on many wheels. some even more aggressive stretch than mine.

 

does stock steelies with beauty rings & spider caps count?? lol!!

 

SWEET where you get the spider caps from?

 

got it from www.hubcapmike.com

 

Thanxs Brotha!!

 

not a good pic.. but you get the idea.. 08 BSP with 16x7 Enkei PKR on stock tires

 

Jeez Christ. You know what I'm going to say here because you know you need to do it. So I'll spare you and not say it. The wheels are nice but you need to "______ that _____". See, I spared you again.

 

haha trust me i know.. that's a huge wheel gap in the back.. i'm looking at the eibach pro kit springs.. i don't want to drop it too much but i do want to get rid of some of that gap.. that's one of the next few toys on my list.. i got a new job and loving the money but am trying to save up to pay the car off =P
