Default 20'' Rims on a Scion?

I went to a garage a couple days ago where the guy is a Wheel Specialist. I asked him to give me a price on some 18'' rims
but he kept telling me that for $2,600, he could fit some 20'' Rims. lol! I don't know if I should do that.

Anybody do this before? And what did you have to do to make it fit?

people do it all the time... you also have to consider the width of the wheel but usually you have to ride with no wheel well lining and roll the fenders... but its happened. its impractical but if you really want it you can do it....

I run 18s with 35 series tires... plenty of room. You shouldn't have a problem with 20s, you just need to do a few things to the fenderwells.

I had 20s (20x7.5) on TRD drop. It was cool, but I wanted to go wider...8.5+

You'll be fine with 20s as long as you watch the offset and width.

I currently have 19s. Much better ride quality too!

As stated been done way back in the day lol..But I got to say I'm not a huge fan of big wheels but for some reason 20's on a xB do not bother me. Maybe it's because the xB
gives the illusion that it's a big car. Look at pics with 15's then 20's and the 20's almost look like 17 or 18 inch wheel. I run a 17x8 wheel and everyone thinks it's a 15.

KK, sorry that I'm so late haha. I'm just new to the Scion scene and I'm from Canada, so I don't see to many Scions rolling around everyday xD.

Anyways, I was thinking about some 19'' as well, but would I still have to roll the fenders and what not?

Slammed Scions on 20's look like DubCity cars which is pretty cool, shows that xBs can take any size wheel
15"-20" and pull it off, I've had 15's, 16's, 18's, 19's, and 20's looks good every time.
