Rims???

« on: May 21, 2008, 08:46:05 PM »

I just bought my 2008 xB and i am wanting to get some rims for it soon. What other cars have the same lug pattern as the Xb for 2008?

Use tirerack.com for starters. A lot of cars use this pattern and I wouldn't want to steer you wrong (pun intended) Cheesy

Congrats!!!! on your purchase cheers

Tirerack lets you choose wheel makes, size etc. and it is so easy. Others have put custom wheels on and will be glad to give out the specs and where to buy. I'd start there and have fun! Cool

If you google "5x114.3" you'll get a bunch of results from various car enthusiast sites (i.e. Honda, WRX, etc.) There are so many to list & it would be time consuming to put together such a list anyway. That search will probably help you out the most right now

you can run 18s up to 20s.. although your ride on 20s may not be so great. Ideal size would be 19s, you can run the same all around or staggered, meaning wider in back.

You would need 5x114 with a high offset, like +38 to +45, the lower you go the more it sticks out from the fender. I'm running +33 in front, it takes it about 5mm out from the fender.

Btw.. I have a set of TRD ones for sale in the classifieds for cheap.. if you are interested.
