I like the wheel and color, but I am not sure if it'll look good on a white scion xb. Also when it comes to tires does anyone have any experience stretching? Would a 255 on a 10in wide rim be a possibility?

 

look nice but I think they belong on a mustang. Not an xB

 

Yeah thats what they are made for. I'm just trying to think outside the box as far as typical wheels go. I can visualize it, just cant make up my mind whether or not it'd look good. They'd look absoluty killer with that gangster body kit being made though. Any thoughts? I think I'd like to try them out but I'd hate to waste the money on something I'm not going to like.

 

Lippage is good. Design is good for other cars, not sure about the xB2.

As far as stretch on a 10" wide wheel. 10"=254mm. SO a 255 wouldn't stretch. I'd go with a 245 for a minor stretch, but a 235 would be bad ___.

And if you want something outside the box. Buy my Axis. They are similar to the ones your looking at...

how much for your axis? r they new for sale? john94si@yahoo

 

Love those Axis wheels!

 

If I'm not mistaken the front wheels in that set are +20 offset. Thats too low an offset for our cars.

 

The wheels below are 19x9F +32 and 19x10R +38. The Axis are 19x8.5 +20F. So, you lose 1/2" in width, and gain 1/2" in offset(12mm=1/2"). SO mine would stick out 1/4" further that the ones below in front. And the Axis are 10x10.5 +45R. So you gain 1/2" width but lose 1/4" in offset. So they would sit exactly the same in the rear.

They will work.

 

What's the context? what else are you thinking you're going to do? If you have a plan for some of the rest of the car you might be able to pull them off. I'd be interested to see what you could come up with.

 

i think it would look better with a WBK rather then a stock body.

 

I would like to lower it about 2in all around. Either get a custom dual exhaust or see what comes out. Next step would be too find a decent body/lip kit. I havent seen anything I'm really too fond of yet as far as kits go. I like the five axis but at 1200 for the lip unpainted I'd feel like I just spent the night in prison paying that for what it is. I'd really like to see some sort of Wald style lip made. Although I think these rims with the gangster body kit might have some potential, I'll just have to wait until final pics are released. Right now the car is white but given the right kit I think a two tone paint sceme might look awesome as well with this set up. Like perhaps painting the top of the car all black or even a flat black. I've got alot of ideas for it but I maybe should go and get photoshop installed on my computer to make my final decision on these. Bottom line I'd like to go for a more muscle car type theme given the chop top look of the scion.

 

Cool I like your ideas, especially the two tone paint, white and hyper silver, or gray to match the wheels would look pretty cool, I picture paint lines like something off Overhauling with chip Foose. top half one color, bottom half another and maybe a hood-to-fender paint band or something might look nice. After the look, a nice exhaust and some retro styled gauges could make it sound and look the part too. xb's are no hotrod but I've seen some pretty nice cruiser styled rides that it could fit in with. draw it up!

 

Thanks for the support. Soon as I have it confirmed that these will fit with a 2in drop I will be ordering them. Any body with experience running 20x10s in the rear want to chime in? Also does anybody know if most tire shps will mount stretched tires or will I be facing stores not willing to work because of liability issues?

 

sorry I can't help you more, the fittment is outside of my guide. I can tell you the stock set up is a 16x6.5 with a 45 offset, If you know the width and offset you should be able to pinpoint where the wheel should sit within or out of your fenders. As for the mounting liability, our stores most likely won't do it for you. That's not to say someone won't though. We stock some identical wheels, ours have a 48mm offset. Compared to your stock wheels our replicas would sit in about 1.8" further than your stock wheels.

 

they'd also stick out 1.75" further than you stocks. ----- remember this is just the wheel, i haven't accounted for the tire space you will need

 

yepp yepp been seein those on all the mustang GT's. a completely different car.

 

dont like it.
