|
|
hello. just bought the limited gold xb mainly for work. however, i need new wheels and need some help. what is our 08 scion wheel bolt pattern and maximum offset. i was aiming for a set of axid og's, but found it only for the 1st gen. however, xxr 513 are my next choice.
does anyone here run wire-deeo 16's? |

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:
http://www.rims-n-tires.com/rt_specs.jsp
Keep in mind that the stock wheels are 5x114.3 (4.5") bolt pattern, 16"x6.5" with +45 offset, and the tires are 205/55x16".
Stock weight is approximately 22# for tire and 22# for steelie = about 44# total at each corner.
Have fun playing with the calculator/comparer!
BTW, OG wire wheels are nice, but they weigh a LOT, and are not really appropriate for our 4-banger hp and torque output. http://www.ogwirewheels.com/wheels_1.html
When I looked at the XXR 513's they were only available in 4 bolt lug patterns, 15 " & 16" diameter, with 0 offset or +15 offset... neither the bolt pattenr or the offsets will work on the xB2.
PM me with what wheel size you're planning on/thinking about, and any drop springs that you may have or plan to get. |

| The only Axis OG Wheel that will work on the xB2 are the new banzai line. They are only in 17X8 or 17X9. Other then that no other OG wheel is made in a 5x114.3 or 5x4.5, which is your bolt pattern. If not that wheel i have seen the Axis Shadow on the new gold xB2 w/ the gold ring on it... and its a very close match... they make it in 18X8 +40... might be a good option?! |

not to my liking. i think i will stick with 18" staggered.
however, i need to know what is the max offset to be flush with the fenders and NOT stuck out.
thanks!
http://wheelstudio.com has some really nice wheels. |
