Default Enkei FD-05 on the xB2 "Updated with pictures"

What do you all think about the new Enkei FD-05 on the xB2? Looking at the 18" in black on my black xB.

Before NF210 springs



Clean and NF210 springs installed.

Ok so the wheel is 18" tall and 7.5" wide with a bolt pattern of 5-114.3, Right. Is the 45 GBM the offset? If so will this look right on the xB2? Any idea or comments people.

Yes those will fit fine. 45 is the offset, same as stock.
GBM is Gloss Black with Machined lip, GMM is Gunmetal with Machined lip

I think the tire and wheel calculator we all use will help you understand how the changes from stock may or may not work, and what the resultant changes will be:

Keep in mind that the stock tires are 205/55x16" with +45 offset. 5x114.3 (4.5") is the bolt pattern for our xB's.

If you want to keep overall tire diameter as close to stock as possible, 225/40-18 is what almost everybody goes with.

Default Posting Pictures

To post pictures, go to www.photobucket.com and set up a free account. Upload your pictures in message board size (640 x 480). You can select the size just above the browse and upload area.

You'll need to have the ScionLife site and PhotoBucket site both open so you can go back & forth between the two.

To add pictures to your original post, click on the edit button (scissors) in the top right corner of your post to open it up again; then go back to PhotoBucket and one at a time cut & paste the IMG Code below the pictures that you uploaded to PhotoBucket and paste them in the body of your ScionLife posting.

That's it!

You're welcome.
Wheels look nice, and it will look so much better after the drop.
Then a good cleaning, and some pics in better light.

Wheels are great, really nice on the BSP; & looks so much better dropped.

Since you're on NF210's, why don't you throw your pics and driving impressions of the NF springs on the official NF210 thread.
