Default Future Scion owner looking for wheels before the box arrives

What's up guys.

In 4-8 weeks I should have my 2006 Black xB in from overseas. Been shopping pretty heavily for wheel/tire combos.

Just wondering if anyone is running this combo or if it would look good on the box?

Will be wrapped with 205/40/17


Also, will I need spacers or anything like that? (Box isn't lowered yet, but will be a month or so after wheels installed.


Any input will help out!

Like the wheel. Size should be fine. What is the offset? I'm shopping right now too and trying to find a little lower offset or wider wheel to bring it out flush. I also want the tires to look slightly streched (just a little).

Let me know what you decide. I'm from GR and in Muskegon all the time - we should meet up sometime. -PM me.

Nice wheels, just get the One Ton Garage hub spacers for the rear and you are good to go.

I've read that the spacers put increased stress on your joints. This will be my daily driver and I don't like the idea of having another car that is prone to breakin on me. (My previous daily was a 96 Ford Contour ____BOX).

No joints on the rear. It's a solid axle. The spacers go behind the backing plates in the rear and mover the whole assembly out. They end up matching the front much closer. No stress on anything ans they come with all the mounting hardware. I've had mine on for 24K miles with 0 problems.
Here is a good link for tire and wheel pkgs.

Riax makes some great Black wheels with a polished lip.

Ooo Rocket.. Those are pretty nice too. Bonus about the ones I'm getting from victoriatire.com are that they are already mounted on tires and It's a package deal with no shipping. Gotta love that! =D
