Currently running on Tein S-Techs with 20x8.5" +38 offset front and rear with no rubbing... Just doesn't quite seem to fill up the arches. Was thinking about stepping up to 22's but every example I've seen is on bagged xB's. Anyone try it with a static drop? Figure I'll have to roll my fenders but that's not that big of a deal. Is removing the inner fender lining a must? I daily drive my vehicle and it tends to rain in Florida.

 

I'd keep that fender liner in there if you could. But I've never rolled fenders so I don't know if you could do it with the liner still in there.

I live in Florida, too, so I know the rainstorms that we go through. Not sure what Orlando's weather is like, but in Jacksonville, when it rains, IT RAINS.

And considering that your xB is a daily driver, I'd recommend sticking to 20's. 22's would look sweet, but it'd be a monster pain in the A$$ driving on that.

 

^x2. 22s will probably need to remove the fender liner since their big wheels and your lowered....

 

22? Why dont you just get bigger tires.

 

^ wtf. Ew

 

Rubber band tire FTL!

 

lol, because 22's look great in the first place....

 

On the right vehicle they do. This is not one of them.

 

Please don't...seriously. Just get coilovers and go lower. Or Air suspension.

22's will KILL your tranmission on a xB2 especially if it's a daily driven car.

 

also remember that been a dd your gas milage will hurt, plus throttle response, brake wear, but maybe will look good, i dont imagine driving daily with 22 plus a 30 series tire........ noo!!! i stick with 17, max 18, perfect balance

 

22s wont kill it if theyre aluminum, steel with chrome yes the weight will, and why not 22s, listen no scion is a race car, screw the handling anyways

 

 

I had originally wanted to go with an air ride setup, but I don't think I'll have the room for it. Currently I will be using ALL available trunk space for an audio install. Are there any examples of people who have done air ride setups with externally mounted tanks/compressor/etc? My only "fear" with a coil over setup is that if I go real low and get the stance I'm looking for, I'll inevitably get myself into an area with an abundance of speed bumps... Murphy's Law and all.

As far as wheel weight is concerned, I don't think it will be all that bad. Chrome has its place, but it's not on an xB. Brake wear, gas mileage, pain in the ___ to drive, yeah... all expected. I've noticed that with my current setup, but I don't think it would be much worse.

 

nope. No racecar content here.

 

Here you go.













Everything is the EasyStreet kit except the tank. I ordered a seperate 5-gal aluminium tank that wider and narrower than the standard steel tank the kit comes with. Everything is mounted to a 0.10" thick sheet of aluminium and bolted to the frame rails.

 

If you dont want to go with air set up try Tanabe DF210, that's what im currently on DF210 with 20x8.5 +32 all around and 225/30 w/no gap. Not to sure if that's lowest then what your on now.

 

what % of that car is still OEM scion?

 

what its just as bad as slammed with stretch/poke

 

Haha just about none. I think some of the actual block and head are. But that is just about it. I was just messing around though, I knew exactly what you meant. I'm not a total A** hole like most of SL lol.

 

You're comparing this
