Buyers Guide: Scion xA/xB Wheels
#123
Having never owned an xB or anything like it, would I have problems with 17x7 +40 offset on a 06 xB as far as fitment around suspension is concerned, I noticed alot of people posting issues about the rim hitting something in the rear, trying to avoid that...also looking for a good tire size, I was looking at 215/40/17 which indicates only about a 1mph speedo throw off.

okay...im just really trying to make sure about a wheel size im looking into..
for my xA i was thinking just 16s with a +40 offset..is that too big of an offset? i know its a dumb question with all the stuff in the beginning of this thread but i just REALLY want to make sure that i wont experience any rubbing..
i also will install some rear shims soon, so that is also a factor...

I have a tC lowered on TRD springs.
Orlando and the guys at Auto Innovations did a great job mounting and balancing my rims and tires, as well as doing a much-needed alignment.
Rims:
RO_JA Formula 5 in gunmetal, 17x7, 5x100mm, +42mm offset, 70.5mm hub bore, 15.8 lbs. each (I weighed 15.5 on my bathroom scale, but that only has .5 lbs. precision).
I have plastic hubcentric rings with 54.1mm ID, 70.5mm OD, and it seems to work fine. No vibrations.
I had McGard spline lugs in black installed as well.
Tires:
Pirelli P-Zero Nero M&S, 225/45/17
The paint sucks on the rims. I can already see a couple of nicks on the inner part of a couple of the wheels where paint is already coming off. I will probably have to get these powdercoated or something at some point. How much would that run me, and would it be durable? Add a lot of weight?
I'll have pics up in the other sticky thread soon.

i just read over the initial post, i just have a little twist to add. Don't assume that every tire has the same width and height. I don't know why but different manufactures measure tires a little differently. Here's an example of what i am taking about. Both Falken and Yokohama make a 205.45.17 tire. Falkens 512 and Yokohamas AVS ES 100 These two tires are not the same width. The AVE ES 100 is wider and if used on a 17x7 wheel with a 40 Offset will rub on an XB without spacers. The Falken 512 will not. ???? Don't ask me why, manufactures (foreign) are a little odd. FYI

20x7.5 . . . . . . . 45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . 215/35-20 . . . . Rear needs 5mm spacer Front loses full turning radius (hits tow hook inside fender) Also fender needs to be moved back 1" towards pass/driv floor board.
If someone could add this to the first page please.
works with airride with major front fender work and rear door jam work.
