Some may like some may not To each is owen taste. Please tell me what you guys think. Just trying to be differnet Will have my Scion center cap's Soon for the wheels.

 

just change the center caps and it will be better :D

 

Hell, I like it a lot! Can you give us more info on the wheels? Mustang rims? Size?

 

Thanks For the feedback. Im gonna be looking into makeing a custom Scion centercap for the wheels Tomorrow! Either a black center cap with the scion logo and scion name in white or maybe a carbonfiber center cap with a white or a red logo.

 

IM glad you like them, IM just trying to be different and be unique and of corse save a little $$ at the same time. The wheels are 2001 Ford Mustang GT Bullitt rims 17x8 with a 5x114.3 bolt pattern. Fit perfect, Like a glove. No wobble, shakes or any type of bad sounds or creeks. Drives like it came from the factory with the wheels on it. No rubbing when doing sharp turns or creeks car stay's pin straight and does not vir to the left or right sides and at high speed stays smooth and quiet no odd noise's. Now im just wondering if i should drop it or not??? Either NF210's or TRD'S

 

of course you should drop it! either way would be good, but I'm partial to TRDs...I'm sure Cionide will tell you to get the NFs

 

Lookin' good!
Pretty meaty tires that look like they fill out the fenders a little more than stock diameter, what size are they?
Absolutely, NF210's come with my highest recommendation; but then you already know that DREWxB08.
Dropping it is not an option, it's a requirement.

 

NF's are where its at!

 

i like them alot. i just think they stick out a bit too far

 

Looks surprisingly good.

What's the offset?

 

Hah, I guess we think alike. I have the same rims but in a 20in deep dish version. They've been collecting dust for months. I just keep wasting money on other things besides tires. Hopefully in like a week or two I'll slap em on. I'm glad I made the choice though, those look great!

 

I think they look pretty good.

 

YES SIR Love your write up on the NF 210's won me over. I was sapose to order them awile back but $$$$$ problems came up. But i will be placeing an order for NF 210's With in a week or so. Im just worried about the front cause the dame tires are TALL!!!!! and im worried if once i drop it will i have rubbing and hitting if i hit a bad bump.

 

Great minds Think alike I cant wait till when you install your set of 20's on your XB2 and that style is gonna look killer deep Dish and 20's all i gotta say is BALLING!!!!

 

Thanks for the positive Feed back! The Rear Wheels Fit Perfect the fronts do stick out a Tinny bit nothing too crazy. IM just worried about the front rubbing after I drop it. The tire side wall is Tall.

 

I just wanna Thank you all for the positive Feed back and please keep it comeing and any other ideas as well thanks.

 

If you can tell me the wheel offset, and tire specs, I'll let you know if should rub or not. Those tires do look big, they fill out the front fender pretty well. I know you were worried about daily driving on crummy streets when considering springs. You might be better of with just changing the rear springs to TRD, which will level out xB getting rid of the jacked up look, as well as ride much better because they are progressive and the stock rear springs aren't.

Get me the info, and we'll go from there.

 

-17x8
-5x114.3
- Offset is about 36MM
-Tire Size- 245/45 R17

By putting just the TRD Springs in the rear will allow it to even out and look sleek but will it effect the car in any way by having to different springs?


Thank you for the helping hand

 

Your tires are almost 1" larger in overall diameter, which wouldn't be so bad if the wheels had an offset of 42-45. Additionally, the 245 tires are over 9-1/2" wide.

If you drop the front the standard light drop of 1" (TRD, Tanabe, Eibach Pro-Kit) with this tire/wheel combo, I think you might have rubbing problems going over bumps, on uneven roads, or with a fully loaded xB (4 adult passengers).

Dropping the rear only will not affect the front, as long as the springs are designed for the xB. I don't know if you can find them, but the 1.5" drop of the TRD or Eibach Pro-Kit might visually be better than the larger 1.7" drop of the NF210's. The ride and handling will both be greatly improved due to the fact that the rear springs will now be progressive (the stock springs are linear and contribute the most to the bumpy ride), and because the center of gravity will now be 1.5" lower in the rear.

To gain even better handling with this set up, I would recommend the TRD rear sway bar next, then the TRD front strut tie bar, if you want to go that far.

Here's a thread with TRD rear springs only:

The other alternative would be to drive it like it is until you wear out the tires, then replace them with 225/45's, and put on the NF210 springs then.

 

Thank you for the Help. Im gonna Start looking into getting TRD Springs, I hope to find a used set b4 i get a new set, Since im only gonna use the Rear till i replace the tires and get the NF210's alonge with it.
