Default 15" wheels

Any one running aftermarket 15" wheels?

I want an aftermarket wheel, but thinking of going with a 15 or 16" wheel. The roads here in CT SUCK. I have 17's on my subaru and the ride is a little harsh, but even worce is bent rims.

will 15x6.5 with a +42mm offset fit?

any pics of people running 15" wheels. Normal 15" wheels. not super wide mega deep dish ones

I'm assuming you have an xB ... if not, apologies to you and all xA owners :D

I'm running 15x7 with stock tires ... it feels a bit floaty at freeway speeds but the ride is nice and smooth. And I don't live in mortal fear of potholes, driveways, etc.

I think 15x6.5 +42 might be a bit close, and it'll really have that sunken-in look in back (if such things bother you). Try tires.com ... IIRC they have a large selection of 15" rims that are known to fit the xA and xB.

I was tring to find photos of xB's with updgraded 15" Wheels. Could not find a way to sort these.

Maybe someone could post here to let us know they have done this?

Thx

This is a great thread on 15x7 wheels...

https://www.scionlife.com/forums/vie...highlight=15x7

The ride quality is excellent, never harsh and only slightly wider than the stock wheels at 15x7. I'd try and get the offset as low as possible, somewhere in the ET20 - ET25 neighborhood. :D
