Hey guys, I'm new to Scionlife and I'm thinking about putting on a new set of rims on my '05 xb. I'm not really familiar with the size tires and the offsets of the wheels but what i do know is that i'm looking at a set of 18" rims which are 18x7.5 with a 45 offset. If i have my car stock height with stock suspension, am i safe? or do i need to get spacers or fender rolled?? I would appreciate all the help i can get. Thanks

 

I had the exact same rim specs on my old Motegi FF7's. I ran 215/18/35's and goldline springs(2" drop) w/ no problems, no rubbing. I did run spacers for looks. I ran the OTG's.

 

so since i'm not dropping the vehicle any, i will be okay with those tire specs? asides for looks, i wouldn't need spacers right? thanks

 

The spacers in your case, without being lowered, would only give the rear wheels the "flush" look in reference to the fronts, otherwise you won't really need them.

 

thanks...you've been very helpful. i'm actually riding on my bald stock tires with the wires showing. that's why i was like, this gives me an excuse to buy some new rims.

 

I have 17x7 Konig Holes with a 45 offset wrapped in 215/45/17 Toyo Proxes 4. I'm not dropped and suspension and performance wise, I'm completely stock. Would you recommend spacers for me? I would like to eventually drop it, but not alot. I was thinking Tein H-Techs.
