The OFFICIAL 18" Wheel Thread.... Let's see them
 

So let's see who is running 18's. :cool:

My old Work Wheels vs-xx... My new wheels are coming in today!

• 18x8 +26, 18x9 +20
• all wrapped in Federal SS595s 215/40/18s

Looks nice. What springs are you riding on?

D UNIT=Ballin!!!:clap:

This are my 18, dont really know the specs, I just know the dealer try to charge me 4 grand for them and when i said no, they gave them to me free, they came with the car by the way.Attachment 96518

here is my 08. stock springs...still cant decide what i want.. anywho they are Motegi SP10 in matte black silver lip, 18x8 +40 offset with 225/40r18 Toyo Proxes Fz4 tires..

I finally narrowed down the springs that I want for my 08 CSM: Eibach Sportlines. They give you a really nice drop. 1.2"F, 2.2" Back. It's about a 2-finger wheel gap in the front and the back. So that's what I'd recommend for you.

these are some off brand 18x8.5 42 offset and nexen 225/40 tires.

yeah ive been looking at those actually.. decent price and a decent drop. what about quality?i mean they are a reputable brand but does anyone have any experience with them?

this is what ive been looking at http://www.fastscions.com/scion-xb-h...2008-2009.aspx

complete set up with springs, and front and rear sway. and a good price.

I've heard the quality is really good with the Eibachs.

Here's a better price for you on springs and sway kits:

I thought about ordering the sways and springs for Eibach sportlines, but I didn't want to spend the dough, considering I'm putting some extra dough into wheels. I'll ride with springs for now, then I'll get a sway bar in the future.

icw racing 18's...hotchkis springs coming soon!

Nice looking wheels on the RS 6.0, but stay away from curbs with those protruding spokes.:nails:

Yeah, I'm way paranoid with these. I always end up parking at least 3ft from the curb. :nails:

haha i do the same thing, and mine don't even protrude out at all!!

anyone have a setup with these specs?? 18x9+37 18x10+37

Those are no problem on your coilovers. To really dump them low, run 215/40-18 front tires and 235/40-18 rear. I'll be searching to find out which wheels you're looking at. :ponder:

Found them; still looking at Rays cheese graters, I see. :icon_biggrin:
Super nice price for some seriously nice wheels! (Better than the last set of SE37's that only had 5 holes.)

Anyone see a problem with running 18x8 +33 offset?

TireRack.com recommends 215/45-18 tires (+40 to +45mm offset though), what do you folks think?

215/40-18 would be the size tires to run with +33 offset. Whether or not you will rub, or maybe need to roll your fenders, will depend on how low you are dropped.

Tenzo Project 7 18x8 45mm. I originally wanted the cuzco, but i'm not feeling em after seeing em on a porsche.. lol Like xtaylorx, my spokes stick out waaaaaaay to far... total paranoia...

Actually... it's xtylerx, but I'll forgive you since you have good taste.

Whew! I can finally post up pictures of my box now that I have some real wheels instead of the steelies!!

The wheels are Volante Torinos 18x7.5 wrapped in 235/40/18. The drop is Eibach Sportlines.

The pics from my Droid suck. They don't do it justice. It looks SO much cooler in person.

I'm glad you like it, but you will soon find out how badly those Wanli tires suck. When you're ready to replace them, step down to 225/40-18 to avoid rubbing, but a better quality tire will handle better anyway.

@CIONIDE: They actually ride pretty decent. They still feel stockish. They came with the new wheels as part of a package, but I will wear those out before I get new tires. Rather, real tires. Lol

HAHAHA sorry brutha.. my bad...

They fit here is a pic of my 18x8x32 on a DF210 Drop

I'm actually feelin' this... but I think you need to slap a 10mm spacer in the back...

Hey lv08xb, you and 08bspxb are making me miss my DFs fo' sho'... The only negative thing I didn't like about the DFs were the spring rates--I thought they were too soft. Where are your new rims???

I'll take some pics when I clean the xb, its been raining here in Vegas!
Wheels are 5zigen fn01r-c Matt black 18x8.5 +38 225/40/18. Just some random pics untill I drop the rear more(ksport coilovers) :icon_headphones:

Loving all these new editions! Anyone with 18s and painted or TRD calipers? I've been thinking about doing something with mine, but not in yellow (it'd be too much). If they weren't detrimental, I'd love to have drilled and slotted rotors on my box.

Painting mine as soon as the weather gets a little warmer. I'll be posting pics when I do.

No it wouldn't, with your wheels, I think painting your calipers yellow would not only look great, I think it's mandatory to compliment what you're going for. You can stop your internal dialogue now, you're wrong, get over it. :ttth:

Yeah, but doesn't caliper paint fade and chip away?

This is a different car, but doesn't this look kind of cheap to you? Does everyone agree that I should paint my calipers yellow??!!

I say paint em yellow if you want to, its about what you like, screw everyone else. And if you do decide to paint em go with G2 Caliper paint, they gaurentee that the paint will NEVER chip or fade, they do have yellow amongst many other colors.. Complete kit around $50, thats what I got, again just waiting for better weather...
