Default Will these fit? (Mini wheels)

I always thought these were cool wheels.

17x7, 4x100 bolt pattern, offset +45? Would they fit a xB?

I'm pretty sure they would fit. You would certainly need some hub spacers, though.

As for how it would look, that's entirely up to you, but I'm not sure I would like it.

Yeah...someone posted pixs not too long ago. He got them from his boss. They were laying around in the backyard. I don't recall him having to do any special modifications to make them fit. Do a search...I'm too lazy to do one for you right now ; )

Wow, are you serious? So much for "S-Lite"

I think they look pretty good on a box, but I'm not sure I'd wanna get shims and spacers. Maybe if the price is right. 26lbs a piece is rediculous, though.

yeah, had to do spacer on the rear b/c of rims were contacting the swing arm.... Makes for a better look too, b.c w/o them the wheels were just to far in... Would like to see more thread usage on the lugs tho... No quite what i like to see, but it'll work for now. No prob on the front...


i took that from the thread - so it looks like i was half right


shim spacers needed for the rear - fronts were ok without a spacer

I asked that guy selling the S-Lites on Ebay how much each wheel weighed. He said each box weighs 28 pounds, so he imagines 26-27lbs per wheel.

My xB gets around just fine, but I'd fear it being slow as molasas with 27lb wheels on all 4 corners.

I think it looks good, though.

Time to look for more wheels from other cars.
