what car is this going on? i thought the scion brand wasn't sold in the uk.

1st gen xb/xa probably have to run a spacer all around.

as before

I have a toyota bB 2001 model (zenki) which was the pre-cursor to the 2004 release of the scion xb. The mirror car is your xb mark 1. Anyone ran this set up?

from the link that you posted if those are the ones you are getting, it says that they are 15x7 with a 28 offset.

I haven't seen anyone running an 8" wheel with a +40 offset. Most people go wider with a lower offset for big lip action.

my Rotas were 8wide with a 35 offset.
I ran into the prob of the wheel rubbing on the rear trailing arm. nothing a little grinder action did not solve, or a 5mm spacer.

Hmmm, I would have guessed they were a lower offset than that. must have been the way the spokes went back, made them have lots of lip. I miss those!

OPO has to probably run at least a 10 mm spacer then, 15 to be safe.

hit up bbszero for hub spacers!!!! i have his 20 mm spacer and i've been running it for a few months now with no problems!
