well for work equip 01's its 15x7 +25 front and 15x8 +25 OR 15x7 +25 front and 15x7 +13 rear. i was told by work wheels so they are accurate, i just dont know if they apply to the 02's

 

what i did was email work directly at sales@worksuperwheels.com. tell them what car you have, what wheels your looking for, the width wheel your looking for and ask them what offset you need. they were VERY helpful and actually gave me 2 different setups and advice in choosing one over the other. they even referred me to a reputible dealer!

 

get the 15x8's. do not settle for less then 8 inches wide!

 

well i personally am gettin 7"front and 8" out back, i know a few people went for 8" all around. bing7685's widths will look awesome but he may need to run fender flares like shelby koshaks xB. shes running 8.5's out back i believe. staggered widths/offsets is where its at man

 

thanks man. i'm gona email them tonight.

 

Excitebox is pretty accurate... However the Equip 01, 02 and 03's configurations are very close...

If you want exact specs go to Works Website:

http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/

and then go here:


http://www.work-wheels.co.jp/wheels/...-02/eq-02.html

at the bottom there is a link to a PDF fitment guide "matching". There look for Toyota bB (aka: xB Scion USA).

The guide says this for the bB:

15×7.0JJ+25(A) A 205/55 15×7.0JJ+25(A)

This is for FRONT and REAR respectively. However if you don't mind going a bit more agressive and risk possible minor rubbing you can almost go another inch on the width and keep the same offset. The wheels I got (Work Equip 03) said almost the exact same thing but I went for 15x8 so I could get 92mm of lip in the rear and some 70mm or so in the front. My recommended offset was:

15×7.0JJ+25(A) A 205/55 15×7.0JJ+25(A) O 205/55

and I went:

15x8 (20) and 15x8 (25) (i think I got to double check)

Anyhow WORK will show what they know will fit the "best" but you can often go much more aggressive to get more lip. But you need to do the "drift" thing and get a smaller tire to avoid rubbing. So go with like 205x50x15 rather than the recommmended 225x50x15 this will pull your tires inward (used to be considered the low rider deal) but is very popular in the import market these days since it allows people to run crazir offsets. for example a s13 running 20" GTC's with a width of 10" sick as hell but crazy small tires...

Anyhow any additional help let me know...

The guide will tell you

 

there's a lot of things to take into consideration which all boils down to the look your going for.

- tucked vs flush
- regular tire vs stretched
- regular camber vs negative camber
- flares vs no flares
- regular brakes vs bbk

i can go on forever and it's all gonna be different case by case.

 

I dont want to steal shelbys thunder but I want a set of work equip 1s where can I get them and how much do they run?

 

You can get them from Dynamic Autosports in Lake Forest CA, or Toda Racing which is basically WorkSuperWheels.com (not Really WORK Japan but they sell Works)...

 

im getting 01's and i'm getting them from auto fashion usa. elroy has been BEYOND helpful with getting me the proper offsets, wheel widths, even what tires to run!

 

I kind of want like hot rod tires really fat tire width Im going to run fender flares too excitebox if you don't mind how much did they run you
