2011 xB Hub Centric Rings Update..
Well after trying listed 2008-2010 hub centric rings at discount tires they did not fit. After calling scion and new measurements we came up with these:
Fits perfect-My rims road smooth before but I always use hub rings.......It's better knowing things are the smoothest they can be. 15 bucks @ any discount tire, but free for me!!
Hope this helps all 11's & 12 xB's.

.04mm is .0015 inch. An intentional change of 1/1000 of an inch in hub bore diameters between model years? 1/1000 inch precision in plastic hub rings? I think not. That's less than the thickness of the average human hair. I think 2011 XBs use the same size rings as 08-10 XBs. Some vendors probably package their rings rounded up to 60.1mm and others as 60.06mm. They are the same and nothing to worry about.

EXACTLY!!! The reason we (discount tire) use the 60.06mm rings is because that's the actual measurement. Our POS system only uses 3 digits, not 4 so we round up. From what I hear most people just round up. (It's also the same for Minis and a few other vehicles) We use the 60.06 for almost all Toyotas.There is absolutely no difference from 2008-2011. Trust me it's all the same!

Again the actual hub size for 08-12 XBs is 60mm which requires a slightly larger ring so that it can be installed without a press. Your shop must have tried installing the wrong size rings. 08-12 XBs use 60.06mm (aka 60.1mm) rings.
Any spacers made for the 08-10 XB will fit perfectly on 11-12 XBs.
You don't need hubcentric rings with Scion wheels because they already have the correct hub bore. Most aftermarket wheels have over-sized hub bores so they fit more cars and require these rings to maintain the hub-centric wheel centering.

WTF did you even find 60.01 rings in the first place? The correct size is 60.06mm which is often abbreviated to 60.1mm, not 60.01mm. I've never seen nor heard of 60.01mm rings but if they exist, they would not fit easily on a 60mm hub.

^X2 on everything he said!! He is 100% correct.
Guys and Gals, Please trust me.... I get paid to know this ish..... As a matter of fact, gorilla only makes a 60.06 ring. They don't even make a 60.10... or 60.01 ring for that matter...
