well, after a very long wait, my new wheels finally came in. It took a little bit of modifying to clear the 19x9 inch wheel in the rear.. Much props to Wheels Boutique in Miami Florida for having the ***** to order such a crazy wheel for this car. Here are some pics of my dirty xb cause I haven't had any time to wash it yet.. enjoy!

 

hmm....do i see HRE rims?....if so, hot damn...that's fire....

even if they aren't...its still lookin' good either way. :D

 

Very Nice. Did they use a lower width tire than usual and stretch it to fit so the profile would be lower to avoid rubbing? Tire looks like it is pulled tight width wise!

 

c'mon man.. of course they are HRE... Thanks for the reply..

 

yeah, on the rear we had to use a 235 so that it would stretch on the 9" wheel..

 

That's the way to do it! :D Nice! Watch those curbs though.

 

yo, the wheels are HOT, but you know that the 19" wheels void the warranty. I hope that you knew that.

Nice Wheels! Sweet HREs!

 

yeah, but im not going to keep a car from looking good just cause it voids the warranty..

thanks.!

 

Cha ching! looks great! Did tho$e co$t more or le$$ than the car :D :D

haha.. yeah, just about...

 

Gotta respect HRE's. Can't say I like 19's or RWD staggers on FWD, but those are certainly pretty.

Void the warranty? Gimmee a friggin' break. Don't go to dealerships with moronic policies. The one here would be happy to see an xB roll in on 19's. Maybe they wouldn't replace bearings, but other than that there's nothing to whine about.

 

nice wheels man, i can't wait to get some springs and wheels on my ride! by the way, how big of a drop is that on 19's?

 

what did you have to do to clear the 19x9? that has a nice look in the back

 

I used the tein springs.. They are kind of soft, but give an awesome drop..

 

we had to grind a little on the arm that holds the rear axle, and cut down on the lips of the quarter panels. Once again, the guys at Wheels Boutique are pros at fitment with HRE wheels. I'll try to get some better pics later on today or tomorrow. thanks

 

Nice

 

Thats only the TRD's if I remember right. They offer them, but the TRD 3yr/36 is void on the wheels, I believe?

 

I'd be willing to guess that someone buying a 4 or 5 thousand dollar set of wheels for a 14 thousand dollar car probably doesn't care about the warranty. :D

 

i like your rims!
did u cut the inner part of the fender well
