and this is why i hate geometry. looking at wheels but not entirely sold yet on if they will fit right. i know 17x8 will fit, but the offset is 48mm. if memory serves me, the stock offset is 45mm so i figure it wont be too bad, but id rather ask first before dropping money on them. anyone have any experience with this or just know they will fit? also, will tires sizes become an issue?

oh and first post ftw

 

I too have been trying to find rims, I will attach some pics of what I am thinking of, the rim guy said they would work. 17 inch.

I have a 2009 white xd.

 

you will be fine working with a 17x8+48 offset, i actually run a 17x8+35 offset.
im also selling my wheels if your interested

 

every time i see a cool set of rims- I keep photoshopping them on a white scion like mine----I just get more confused....
here is my latest...

i have 18s and they work and look great...


only problem i found out is my wheel well is now breaking and falling off... gayyyy

(before, a tech i worked with cut out a square about the size of my ducts in the wheel well to help my brakes "breathe" but i later found out that was a warranty issue.. so now i l have to buy a wheel well for both sides soon <--dumb)

 

Those look bigger than 18's... Do you know what they are?

Edit: Oh you photoshopped those on there. Duh, my bad...

 

My rims finally came in and they are on.
They make it look much better than the hubs.

lookin sharp! i must say, they are kind of a big deal, lol.

 

those look pretty sweet, now just need drops, not being dropped in your xd is a sin, unless you like rav-4'ing it

 

I totally agree.
But in the bumper to bumper warranty, it states that changing the suspension height will void the warranty. Not sure if that is a golden rule or not, but I dont want to chance it, since I have 5 years left on the warranty.
Anyone ever experienced any issues with this? I would love to lower it, because that does look way cooler.

good question for the dealership. for some reason i have in my head that if you do the TRD springs and have them installed by a dealership, it maintains warranty. though i may have heard some kind of toyota myth or something
