I need to know what offset is needed for my rims before I order them, or if I can just use spacers. I'm looking at the TSW Kyalami 20x7.5 in hyper black

Also what tires are there out there that will fit? Discount Tire says that the narrowest tire they can find is a set of Nitto 235/35/20. But aren't there some 215/30/20's out there?

From what I can see in the wheel wells, The only thing that looks like it might be a problem right away is the button spring perch on the struts up front. I'm sure once I lower it that the fenderwells will become problems. Any suggestions there?

I'll try and take pics of it while they are doing it so that other people can get a picture of what is going on. I'm going to try and put some tips in the new tech area for other people so they have the answers readily available.

If you can recommend a place that might net me a better price I'd also appreciate that. My Thundercloud 5-speed xB should be in by thursday so I want to order the rims ASAP.

 

I'd probably stay around an ET35 or so. 20's are way big on a Scion so if you go any lower on the offset, make sure you roll that rear fender.

 

You might want to double check w/ TSW - I'm pretty sure the biggest they make that wheel in 4x100 is 19x7

 

20X7.5 IS THE CORRECT WHEEL FITMENT. IT MUST BE 42MM OFFSET OR IT WILL NOT FIT.

ALSO THE SMALLEST TIRE IS A 225/35R20 THAT YOU CAN GET YOUR HANDS ON. IT'S 26" TALL. I HAVE NITTO-555 ON MY BOX. THERE ARE SOME 225/30R20 PROTOTYPE TIRES FLOATING AROUND BUT ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO GET. I SEEN THEM AT SEMA ON THE MINI COOPER AND THE XB THEY HAD ON DISPLAY.

THERE IS A NUMBER OF THINGS YOU NEED TO DO BEFORE 20'S WILL FIT ON AN XB. SO MANY IT WOULD TAKE TOO LONG TO EXPLAIN IT IN DETAIL.

I HAVE 20'S ON MY XB AND IT HAS 1" TRD DROP SPRINGS. THIS BOX DRAWS CROWDS. YOU WILL NOT BE DISSAPOINTED IF YOU GO THREW THE WORK TO GET 20'S ON YOUR RIDE.

WE HAVE DONE 3 XB'S SO FAR AND THEY ARE BAD TO THE BONE.

PM ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY NUMBER.

We had a set of 20 X 7.5's (Volts) test fitted on our box, but could not cut a vehicle we had to sell later. The main issue seemed to be the front edge of the rear fender, but with a straight cut and roll of that piece it looks as if you would not have issues other than the splash shields in the front fender.
