Default xa/xb owners with 20" wheels

I own a 06 xa that currently has 17" wheels, have a set of 18's that i was considering putting on for spring, but have been tossing the idea of putting 20's on it. my ?'s consist of offset, tire size, lowering capabilities, and what would need to be done to allow me to run air ride and tuck.
I have seen a few xb's that sit and drive (at least straight) all the way down. I have yet to see an xa with that same capability, and unless there is already another done, I would like to be the first. I recall reading something about diff rear mounts(cups) to allow the rear to sit lower, but can't remember who sells them (maybe randode?).
Basically anyone that can shed some light on this, I would appreciate it. I have put air on a few cars, just no experience without extending the fender flares to allow such a big wheel to tuck. thanks for any and all help.

There Foose Speedsters 20 by 7.5 +45 offset i believe, with otg rear spacers. Progress coilovers. Had to do some modifying to the fender but nothin to major. Randode did a lot of cutting and is running a total custom set up, for link rear set up tubbed and raised the the front strut mounts. He does have the lowest rear cups out there right now and is selling full air ride kits. I have scene xa's on air and on xa's on 20's but not both. I know it can be done. Dont expect to drag unibody with out major cutting and welding though.
Oh and my foose wheels are for sale pm if you have any questions.

wheels look sick on the xb, but i'm looking for wheels w/o the nipples or rivets. Still lookin for proper tire size, other possible wheel options, etc. Those w xb's please feel free to share on diff optiond, those w/xa's please let me know what combo's work as far as wheel/tire size, etc.

i found a few diff sets that i like, but the one i like the most has a +40 offset, 20 x7.5. will this work? also just noticed in another topic the search for the 215/30/r20. would the smaller size help w/clearance issues, rubbing, etc. thanks again

plus 40 should work and i dont beleive they make a 215/30/20 and if they did i wouldnt want to run it because thats not much tire. I checked tirerack and superbuytire and no size exists that they know of or I do.

they do come with centercaps, but 2 of the wholes on the wheels that the caps screw into, are stripped, you may be able to rethread them, see the scionlife post and ebay auction for more on them.

OK here is what works on the XB. The XA should be close to the same.

I am running 20x7.5 4-100 +45

I have air suspension with Randode aluminum rear cups and the rear shocks from the sienna van to get another .5" and when aired up it sits level.

I have 3 degree rear camber shims(didn't need them) but threw on 1/4" wheel spacer so you can't slide a buisness card between the fender and tire.

In the front I had to use double camber bolts to get easy street front struts back to 0. then tossed on Cusco camber plates up top. here is a pic





As far as tire I am running 225/30 R20

I am the one looking for 115/30 ZR20's. They do make them I have seen them in person but have only found one place that sells them in the US.

I think the rear of an Xa will work no problem but the inner fender might give you some issues in the front.

I do not drive mine all of the way down because I still have my inner fenders in(its still kinda wintery/spring here)
