Default Question...

Will The stock 17" wheels from the tc fit on the 08 XB?
if so would it require any extra equipment?

No. Different bolt patterns.

Yes both the tC & xB both have the same bolt patterns. Check out this website to compare.

No no no no no no no. They do NOT have the same bolt pattern. The tC has a 5 on 100mm bolt pattern where as our xB2's have a 5 on 114.3mm pattern.

NOT the same.

Just to clarify.

I am very sorry! The bolt pattern is different. I was looking at custom wheels that have both bolt patterns. So others that posted here are correct. Sorry!

Ok so i gave up on tc wheels after actual trying them on... and they did not fit...

however i did try on a 17" wheel from a 350z and it does fit...

I was wondering if there are any consequences for using wheels from a rear wheel drive car on a front wheel drive car?
and will there be any effect on the speedometer by using these wheels?

wheels are wheels. if they fit, they fit. doesn't really matter what car they come off of. you will probably need hub rings to keep vibration at bay though. if you stagger the car will handle different. as for effects on the speedo, just make sure to stay within the diameter as stock and you'll be fine.

As randomsuper said, wheels are wheels.

And D-Unit on here has a post about the 350Z wheels/tires.

Here ya go!! https://www.scionlife.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=201759

Wheels are wheels, to an extent. Messing around too big, or too wide, or too much of an offset change or weight increase, could quite possibly play havoc on wheel bearings.
