Whats the best tire size to go with ? with 17x7 40 offset and my box is lowered with Tein S Springs , Thanks for any help 1 I was thinking 215/40 17 but I want to besure I keep the gap in the fender small as possible
if any pics would help

 

Wheel specs are dead on and 215/40/17 is the right size tire. You'll have zero rubbing and your speedo with be correct also. I went slightly larger with 215/45/17 just to get a bit more sidewall for added pothole security. I have Hotckis 1.5 inch drop with no rubbing issues. The choice is up to you.

 

Thanks for the advice! I will probally go with 215/45/17 too! for that added security

 

I'm running S-Techs with 215/45/17 +35 offset, absolutely no problems.

 

Only difference is on the rear it makes the gap in front of the tire real tight and it will cause your spedo to read a little lower. 55 mph becomes like 58 mph

yes these are the rims Im putting on the box
now I need some tuner lugs were is the best place to get and also do I need
Hubcentric Hub rings ? thanks for any help

 

Any wheels place should carry your lugs and rings. I used the open ended lugs that take an allen head wrench to install. And yes hubcentric rings are a must. The aftermarket wheels have no means of centering the wheel on the hub without them.

 

I'm running 215/40/17s and a 2" drop on GoldLines, never rubbed a tire. I second the YES on HCRs and also the internal keyed lugnuts. If you drive even semi-aggressively, don't skimp on tires. Get something with a good traction rating. Oh yeah, mine are a +40 offset but I used the Rear Spacer Shims from www.onetongarage.com to push the rear out 10mm.

 

215/40's or 215/45's are both great choices.

I am a fan of slightly narrower tires to get the stretched look and you can rool on 205/45's without stretching too much, but getting into that look a little. Just my view.

 

ok what size HHC Rings for my wheels ? 73.1mm-54mm ,73.1mm-56.1mm,
73.1mm-57.1mm or 73.1mm-60mm ?

 

Found my reciept from Discount tire. The ones you need are 73-54.1

 

54mm.

Actually, it's 54.1mm to be exact.....some just round it off. Almost all Toyotas have this size center hub.

EDIT: Oops, Jethro beat me to it.

 

Thanks Scion People are the best !

 

i have some 205/40/17 's for sale.!

 

how much? and how much tread?

 

You don't want 205/40/17's bro. They are not load rated high enough for the xB. I tried to buy this size from Tire Rack and they would not sell them to me because they knew they were going to be installed on an xB. Sorry had to share this info with you. If you don't believe me call them and ask.

 

really??
hmmm
i never knew the car had to be rated for a tire?
i dont get it.
