Thanks!
Just Plug and Play, I put some KUMHO ECSTA SPT KU31 on the wheels, My ride went up like 1/2 inch, wich is good for my Rumion Mud Flaps. Road Noise still the same, handling was a big improvement.

Are those tc2 wheels running on 225/45/18? Would they rub with the 45s on TRD or other lowering spring?

Yes, the tC2 18x7.5 +39 wheels have 225/45-18 OEM tires. No rubbing on the TRD drop, but a heavier spring drop would most likely require fender rolling to keep from rubbing, and still might rub the inner fender liner.

Looks very clean, stock, but classy.

I'm looking to buy a set now.

Is the color a gun metal grey or bright silver? Hard to tell from the pictures.

It's a grey color. The TC2 wheels look right at home on XB. Nice rides guys. As soon as I get the dough up for my new shoes someone can take my stockers cheap.

What about these wheels on a 225/40R18? Will they fit right and will they rub on lowering springs?

Those tires should be good to go on any drop, with the tC2 wheels.

Hello all! This is my first post, I just got a 2012 scion xb a couple months back. I had a Honda s2000, what a change! My XB has stock steel rims that need to go. Does anyone know if either the tc or xb wheels changed in 2012? There are some 2012 18" factory OEM TC wheels with Toyo Proxes on them I've been looking at getting but I'd like to make sure they will work before I get them. I asked the seller if they would work and he responded:

"good morning these won't work on your xb the tire size is different and the offset is not the same ."

What type of issues would arise from different tire sizes and the different offset? Any advice is appreciated.

OEM 2012 tC wheels are 18x7.5 +39 offset with 225/45-18 tires. The outside tire diameter is about 1" larger than the stock 16" xB tires, so your speedo & odo will be a little off, but those tC wheels will bolt on & work just fine, even on a mild drop. On a heavy drop you would rub on the fender liners up front due to the larger tires.

Cionide, thanks. Do you think $850 shipped is a good deal for basically new wheels and mounted tires? _What's involved as far as the sensors in the wheels and having the computer recognize them? _Thanks._

Yes, that's a good deal. Do these already have the TPMS sensors in them? If so, you will have to get the computer reprogrammed to recognize the new sensors. If not, you will need to unmount both sets of tires & wheels, swap your current sensors onto the new wheels, remount & balance. You will not need to reprogram if you use your original sensors.

These did not have the tpms sensors in them. I'll have to call and find out how mich it'll be to swap the sensors from my current wheels. New tpms sensors are like $200 right?
