Default 15" for XD?

Will 15" fit on XD? I want to decrease rotational inertia as much as possible.

Bah. I'm going scientific on this one. My girlfriend owns a 2007 toyota corolla, I'll just swap wheels with her and see what happens.

Did you try?

I chuckle every time I see someone with an 18" or bigger wheel. I've never understood why people bellieve this is a performance mod.

true, cause i think the car looks horrible with that gap between the tire and fender. if i wanted performance i would've went with another car. but it's a scion it's all aesthetics.

I was in the same boat. I was going to do black tC wheels until I really looked into 15"s I still have 2 of them I have to sell yet. I was going to do a wide setup but without alot of body work it would be impossible. And I found the Rotas sort of by accident.

Thanks guys.

They are 15"x7". I dont know the offset. I thought it might be stamped on the inside but no. The tires I am using are 225/50R15.
