A long time ago there was a scion wall paper that said the unconventional is in town. It had a scion xb on wire wheels. After a long time of searching O found these.

This wallpaper has disapeared and i cant find it.

i have noknowledge of wheel sizing, what i need as far as back spacing, tires.

The seller said of course it will fit but i want to be sure.
Also any reccomendations as to a low cost low profile tire to wrap the rim in would help

Thanks

 

There was another member on here who had some trouble getting true knock off wires to fit. He never really said what he did to make it work, but I have a feeling a grinder was involved. There was a conflict between the adapters and the brakes on the xB. My bet is took a grinder to his calipers until his wheels would seat.

Bottom line? Don't count on these bolting right up without modification.

 

little modifications are cool Im excited to get that different look that the scion was built for

 

Thats what i want
but if i go with 18 inch wheels how do i know what size tire to put on the wheel and what will rubb.

help me figure out how to write it like 215r 35 18 so i can buy them with the rim

 

DO you mean 215/35-18?

 

i made those numbers up how do i find the real numbe i need

 

That is the number you want.

 

How do you size it

215/35-18

obviously 18 is the rim diameter but where did the 215 and 35 come from

and what units are they measured in thanks
