So yeah, I found this thing on Scionlife saying that the following tires are really close to the stock tire as far as speedometer stuff goes. 215/40-17
I don't know much about wheels, just so you know.

I tried searching but couldn't find anything, so I'm posting. :-)

I am thinking of doing 17" +40mm offset with 215/40-17

My question is, do you think they would rub? would that have something to do with the offset? All the wheels I like seem to bounce between +38mm and +40mm offset.
I don't wanna have to do ANYTHING to my xB as far as shaving goes.

Thanks

 

That won't rub (I replied in the other thread)

 

only on hard truns and or if you are dumped.

 

Even on hard turns? I'm not gonna lower my box... just not my thing.

 

Have kuhmo 215/45 17 and I don't rub!

 

Well, I guess it depends on what you classify as a hard turn. I don't go nuts in my xB, but I do what I call some hard turns now and then. And that's lowered 2" with other people in the car.
I have never had one instance of rubbing.

 

I ran same specs with 2" drop before but never experienced any rubbing at all.

 

you'll be fine. just like they said.
i have 215/45/17 and only had to trim a little plastic behind the front tires.
