width, offset, wheel face design, amount of brake caliper clearance and structure (1pc, 2pc or 3 pc)

Yea uhh... I'm not too sure I would trust running these bad boys on a Scion (FWD) without fender flares. It even says that you need flares or a wide bodykit on the Axis site:

"The 60 and 90mm lips are a perfect fit on Honda, Toyota, Scion, Nissan, and other FWD cars without flared fenders or widebody kits, and the 120mm lip works on the rear of RWD cars and FWD cars with widebody kits. NOTE: You must have a widebody kit or rear wheel drive car to run the 120mm lip. The 120mm wheel will not fit front wheel drive cars without extreme body modifications! "

Of course you don't have to do everything you're told, but be ready to have your backseat passengers' a$$es ate off by the rolling wheels when it comes through the seat! LOL

Yea I've noticed.

I would think that RWDver's would take advantage of the wide tires, the deep lips, and most 5 lug bolt patterns.

If I was a RWDver, I definitely would!

Ask Jon at 1TDA.com. He might be able to recommend something for you.
