tints

 

Looks good. Need better pics tho.. Did they put the sensor on the new wheels?

2nd mod should be a drop

 

New pics as requested!!

they did not put the sensors back in!

I know it needs a bath!!!

 

Was just looking at the new springs today can't go down much here in Pa roads are to bad but i would like to fill out the wheel wells a little bit

 

Wheels loooks Good, Congrats on your first Mod!!! Def gotta Tint the two front windows and little drop. I live in NY and our streets SUCK but im gonna go with the Tanabe NF210's . Thanks to a fellow scionlife member im now hooked on them and look fowared to getting them soon.

 

sorry man. that's all bad.

 

About the sensor light... Put black tape to cover it... there is no resetting it without installing or atleast having the sensor in the car. I've hear of people putting them in a pvc pipe or even in the spare.

I made sure that my sensors were gonna fit the wheels that I choose when shopping for em.... good luck

 

eh, the wheels don't do it for me, but drop it at least, and it will look a lot better

 

Why is it, that when you have stock wheels on, the car seems level in terms of the gap from the wheel well, but the second you put a larger wheel, the gap in the back seems allot more than the ones on the front?

 

Are you serious? With stock springs and steelies, my gap on the rear looked like a jacked up 4x4 compared to the front.

 

well I think the gap on the rear looks worst when you increase wheel size.

 

I think it's because with bigger wheels, there's less sidewall on the tires (95% of the time at least). So it looks like the space from the edge of the wheel to the fender is huge. Makes sense in my head but not sure if putting it in words does lol.

 

Well with the wheel being bigger, I would have thought it would compensate for less sidewalls. But the main question here, is why does the rear gap get bigger in comparison to the front? Every xb2 I've seen with a wheel upgrade has a bigger gap in the rear than in the front.

 

Going from the stock tire size to his tire size you loose a little in over all diameter, even though they're 18's. I put both in side by side in the calculator Cionide always uses (www.rims-n-tires.com) and the stock setup is 24.9" tall while OP's is 24.2" tall. So that will make the gap bigger.

 

AIR BAGS!!!

 

Page 120 of your owner's manual. Of course this only works if the TPMS sensors were swapped from the steelies into the new wheels.



If the roads are bad, and you want to fill out the wheel wells; why did you go with such low profile tires that have a smaller diameter than stock? 225/40-18 are a tiny bit larger than stock diameter, and with more sidewall than the 225/35's would ride better also.

 

not liking the wheels. they look smaller than 18s.
IMO chrome is played out. should've dropped it first then gotten wheels.

 

Looks good.

A drop would make it better.

But hey it's your Xb and your money so it's all good.

 

oh, and dont say "pimpin"
