Nope. Not in yet. They said either Friday or Monday which probably means Tuesday or Wednesday. Anyway, I decided on the BF Goodrich Radial T/A in the 205/60/15 with the lettering. Yet to order the tires because I want to have them done at the same place as I have my Ground Control adjustable springs installed and I haven't found a reasonable quote yet. If anyone knows of a good tire place in the LA area that could also install springs/coil overs let me know!

Just passing along some info i found. Try the link below ....
http://www.bfgoodrichtires.com/assets/pdf/radial_ta.pdf
I found that the 205 minimum rim width is 5.5"-7.5" And the 215 is 6"-7.5" To get a true fit on the 8" wheel, you would have to go with a 225/60R15, which measures 9" wide on a 6.5" wide wheel.

True is that CBSIMONSEZ. However, I'm thinking that the 225/60/15, which has a diameter of 25.6 inches would be way too big for the xB. Even the 215/60 has a diameter of 25.2 and might be too big as well. I guess I'm willing to deal with some stretch to be on the safe side. I'm definitely interested in what people think on this. Is 25.2 gonna be way too big? I'd love to go with 215 rather then 205 if I can swing it. Also, thanks for the pic. I'm just that much more impatient to get them on my ride NOW!

Holly ____ dude. And here I thought I'd be the first with the white lettering and all. Oh well. I'm sure that there pretty much nothing that some kid in Japan hasn't already done to their bb. Anyway, thanks for the pic. Those lips look really fat. I wonder if they are the 8" or the 9". I hope its the 8" because I think they look dope. Can't wait to get them on!

It's amazing how fast the wrong rims came and how long its taking for them to send the right ones. Every time I hear a truck go by my place I run to the door like a total dip ____ thinking the rims are here. Anyways, to answer your question, I am not rockin um yet. I'm pretty relaxed about most things, but I WANT MY RIMS NOW 
. Hopefully I'll have pic by Monday or Tuesday.

Finally! ATS Cup 15" x 8". 18 offset in rear. 23 offset in front (28 with 5mm spacers). Actually I'm using cheap ___ washers as spacers until I can find good spacers . Scion Life is sold out and H&R says inventory will not be restocked until June. Any suggestions would be appreciated (as in known places w/ inventory or other good brands for the xB). Running on BFGoodrich Radial T/A 205/60/15. No rubbing at all. My ride is filthy, so I will post moire pictures later in the xB section.
