I also was looking at those where, I must say they look amazing on your xB!!! Reps or not as long as you like them that's all that matters, i'm def a fan of whats affordable.

Thanks goes out to vegan for taking a moment to help me out.

Photo credit goes out to my lil sister Cheyenne for making my ride look halfway decent. You can see more of her work on Facebook at Dailyek Productions.

Just wish mine was black, look so good with the murdered look, on what suspension are you?

VENisME

Thank you. I'm on Hotchkis springs and Tokico blues.

Can't wait to see this finished. I love the varianzas. Amazing looking wheels man.

Yeah, I can't wait either but these have been delayed while I refinish my dailies, which I finally started on today. Then I have to completely refinish the Varianzas as I don't like the black rim on a white car look.

Glad I'm not the only one. I'm not a fan of black wheels in general.

I kinda like black rims and am probably run flat black xxr's as my first set but I hate black d3s's. Black just hides the lines on that wheel. There's a guy down here running black varianzas on his xb.

I've got a set of black Falken rims as temps on the car right now and I DO NOT like the look, not to mention they are way too heavy. The Privat Netz that I'm refinishing now are much lighter even though they are 1/2" wider rims. They are machined finish right now but I'm contemplating turning them white with the polished lip, or maybe changing the lip color. I might just say screw it and keep them machined and polished to get them done faster though. Then I can start on my d3s's.

Nope, already did something similar with my steelies, white with candy purple baby moons and chrome trim. I'm thinking copper on the lips and inserts with the rest polished. I'll leave the candy purple for the engine bay.

Just got a 2014 xB and looking to replace the stock steel wheels with 18x8 +40 Lexus LS460 wheels. Its a daily driver so the height and suspension will not be changed. Does anyone know if can I run 225/45/18 for a little more comfort than the 225/40? I may also look into the x-runner wheels; 18x8 +32(?) and want to know if the 225/45 will also go with that. Aloha!

If you aren't dropping it then they will fit fine, just remember that your speedometer will be off and you are actually travelling faster than it says.

Greg S, Mahalo (thanks) for the info. So i should be able to run either wheel (18x8 +32 X-Runner or 18x8 +40 Lexus LS460 wheels) with the 225/45 rubber?

XB2IN808

I like the looks of all these dropped xB's, but does anyone have pics of any stock height on 18x8's (all around) +32-40, on 225/40 or 45? I have a daily driver and not planning on lowering it, but want to get at least aftermarket wheels. Need some ideas. Aloha!

It looks horrible! I'll see if I can remember to get a picture of mine at the moment as I'm running 18x8 with 225/40 right now at stock height. And yes you can run either tire with the 45 series at stock height no issue. Their is so much clearence that you won't even get close to the wheel well.

Greg S, Thanks for the info. Trying to make my xB different while being conservative. Teenaged drivers prevent me from having a more aggressive stance.
