Just wondering if anyone knows if 13" wheels would fit an xB. My girlfriend wants to go with a JDM Staggered wheel setup. We found a set of 13" for cheap but not sure if it would clear on an xB.

Here's pics of the wheels


Any help is appreciated. Thank You!

 

wow, i really like those a lot. i'd imagine those don't weigh a whole lot either. i've been looking for a solid set of 14s but have had no luck. is JDM the only way to go?

with 13s, i'd imagine the speedo would be off. what are the stats on the rims and tires?

 

no they dont fit I tried fitting my ol bmw 320i 13"s but they wouldnt clear the calipers . 14's however DO fit.

 

hotbox, do you know anyone who makes decent 14s? can't find any for the life of me. work equips are sweet but way out of my budget. looking for something in the ~500-750/set range

 

gonna be pretty hard to find 14's man. alot of older wheels are 14's but with 4x110 lugs not 4x100 . check out empi's , and stuff like that. they make em 13"-15" normally. empi's and shoot i forget the other brand . used alot on datsun 510's and corollas . all those are 14 or 15 inch wheels so search and yes they sell 4x100 wheels for custom price or sometimes a rare few are made in 4x100.

 

wow, i can imagine 13's on the xB, it will look lower even without some suspensions mods...

 

when i had my 14's with smaller 195/60/14's on em man it not only looked liek a go kart but sat lower . my speedo was a bit off but yeah it gave a cool effect. only downside was extra fender gap. but i'm a bit lower now so maybe i could pull it off better, i may just have to try. the tiny lil pic as my avatar is with my 14's. and yes I know they're ugly 14" BMW bottlecaps.

 

those are fake watanabe's made by rota. you can probably get a set in 4x100 from rota and also you can still buy them from watanabe.im sure they sell/make 4x100

heres a link to another thread about watanabes:

Has anyone tried honda factory rims they are 4x100 and come in a 14 off the HX civic.

 

watanabe's that's the damn name i had on the tip of my tongue.

 

They would work.

 

look how the tire in 15/50 series gives another fraction of drop but... I don't think you get quite the "go kart" look as hotbox did.

hotbox prolly sez back to fly: "sci, your box snot hot"

 

Yeah I'm aware theyre fake Watanabes, but me and my girl didn't want to spend the money on real Watanabes, besides that these were dirt cheap with new tires.

Thanks for the feedback guys, I guess I'll be hunting for some 14s or 15s.

 

its coo man, i sport no shame buying "safeway select"

 

Hotbox, what were the specs of your 320i wheels? What was the main issue on trying to make them fit? Calipers were just too large to fit the wheel over? I'm assuming this is for the front right? Any clearance issues with the rear drums?

Here's the specs of the Rotas if it helps
13x8
+4mm offset
4 11/18" backspacing (inside if center part to centerline of wheel)

 

Where did you find the Rota's? Konig makes a similar wheel called the Rewind in 14 & 15"

The offset for the 4x100 15" is +40 -- not ideal, but they'd fit. I haven't inquired about the 14" however. Unfortunately the 0 offset 15x7 does not come in 4x100 bolt pattern.

 

their is a SL member with 14 inch Miata wheels on his BCP xB painted black. looks prety good

 

13" tires dont have a high enough load rating to support a vehicle that weighs as much as the xB.
