so i have had my 08 since march




and have been searching the forums for the best setup as far as wheel and tires go.
i like the factory wheels that mine came with but was looking for something more. my previous vehicle(03 silverado) had 22s and 4-6 drop and loved it but gas mileage killed me only getting roughly 16-18 mpg.




I currently get 33-35 mpg in my xb and was worried about lossing alot when i went to a bigger wheel and tire combo, but today just hanging out with a friend. we were talking about wheels when he said i might be able to get you a deal on some wheels... my interest in the conversation increased dramatically... i said what kind, how much? he said i got a buddy that sell msr and boss wheels let me give him a call... wouldnt you know they were running a special today...

MSR 052 20x7.5 5x114.3 40 mm offset 25lbs





now just waiting for tires to come in and post up some after pics, let me know what you think.

 

Did the cat come with it? If so EXCELLENT deal!

were you also on GMFS? truck looks familiar.

 

Wow, straight up DUBS.

 

I def wanna see pics!

 

couple more pics, tires have been ordered

 

mounted up ready to go

 

Looking good, any plans on lowering it?

 

yeah i want to lower it but may wait till i have enough money to bag it.

 

DUUUDe! I had the exact truck like you before i got my xb. Same color and chrome wheels with bags. My first set of wheels i had was MSR wheels also 20x7.5 096. Pretty crazy hahah. I was reading through this and was like wthecksounds like me. I got 18s now tho. Anyways, wheels look dope. Cant wait to see it bagged!

 

I have a easy street kit i am looking to get rid of cause i am wanting to do something else with my xb that is going to take a little money. I am looking to sell it for 1500 obo. Dont want to go to low on the price i paid 2200 for it. It is the digital kit. the fronts just got replaced last month and the kit is 1 yrs old so far. i only drive it to and from work which is 2 miles to and from LOL!!!! If you want pics look up bag it and tag it. Look for the post by me that is my xb. Will ship if you want it.

 

you mentioned your MPG's were a concern. can you give us an update when you start getting some new MPG data?

 

i have had them on the last two weeks and both weeks averaged 350+ out of 11 gallons. i was getting on average about 370 out of 11 gallons so i lost 2 miles per gallon, going from 33 to 31 so i am not dissapointed at all...

 

damn im lucky to get 230 out of mine

 

Right! LOL I get like 230 - 250.
