Need ALL the specs for the xB/xA 18 inch TRD Racing Hart Evolution wheels please. Weight,width and backspacing. I searched and searched and can't find anything except diameter. Thanks!

Okay I've looked through this and I couldn't find it, but lets say I want 15x8 with +25 offset. How will that look different from the stock wheels. Will it fill out the gap just enough or will it pertrude out of the fender? I want them to be just flush with the fender after I drop the car. I'd probably run 205/50/15 for tires.

BUT one place has in stock 17's in a polished finish that I'd much rather have, they are 17 x 7.5 with an offset of 45... I'm really stupid when it comes to wheels and I'll admit it. I see the fitment chart showing a max offset of 40... Can I use spacers to compensate? I really have my heart set on these rims and want to see if there is anyway to make this happen..
any and all help appreciated.
any and all help appreciated.
here is the run down
H&R 25mm spacers are runing about 190-180 a set
H&R 15mm spacers about 170-160 a set
OTG 10mm shims are 70+shipping
so thats about $450 give or take on parts alone.
i did the math and said hell no that why i picked up a set of rims the are 40mm much less work.

17x7 with a 42"offset
I had bought a set of 17x7 enkei pkr's with a 42 offset.I have heard that they fit with no rubbing, but has anyone seen how this holds up with a 1.5 inch drop, and will the drop affect the tire size I choose? I know dumb question, but this is the first car I have owned that is not 30 years old , the tolerances seem alot tighter on the box! I plan to do the drop at the same time as my rim install and any advice would be great!Any tire recomendations would be great! Will I need shims?

i've gotten together a list, though i'm sure it's not complete, of "stock" wheels that will fit the xB/xA if anyone is interested. the CB is not always the 54.1, it is larger on some, but i think there are adapters that can be used.

I'm looking at getting some SportMax 006's in the 17x9 35mm offset. How would you guys recommend spacing the wheels out to get some nice fender flare action? I'm looking for just a bit of spacing as this is a daily driver, not insane VIP spacing. Also, would it just be smarter to go with the 17x7 40mm offset to avoid rubbing?

Question about too big a tire and throwing off speed and mileage.
ive got 17" wheels with 225-45 tires on them. According to this thread "when your odometer shows 1000 miles, you will actually have traveled 948.09 miles"
My question is this. My mileage shows that i get about 250-260 miles between fillups on these wheels. If i swap back to stock, i get 300-320 miles between fillups. Also if i measure the little mile markers on the highway i get .9 miles (shown on my odometer) for every 1 mile marker. Am I missing something or is that statement above the exact opposite of what would happen?
Im thinking it should say: When your odometer says 948.09 miles, you will actually have traveled 1000 miles.

I would like to add my setup, 04 XA on a 17x7 +45 offset with 215/45/17 tires. Unfortunately I have to use a 1/4 inch spacer (pepboys) all around. The front tire rubs a little at full lock and the back has about 3-5mm between the rim and suspension arm.
I am planning to install Tein H springs in a couple of months. I wonder if there will be a problem.

it shows your tires are nearly 4" more in circumference than stock tires - or about 5%. more. Since your tires are larger than stock, you will be going FASTER than indicated when compared to the OEM tires by about 5%. You will also go farther than indicated by 5% - so if your odo says you drove 100 miles, you really went about 105 miles.
Keep in mind that the same "size" tire can vary in section width and diameter from other models and brands in the same "size" - but not by enough to make that much difference.
