Look forward to seeing them mounted.
pics after install!!! :) are u lowered also?
looks good, can't wait to see these mounted.
Ordered! May take up to 15 days to get them :(
Very nice wheels, but i think a 235 will be crazy narrow on a 8.5 wheel. The 225's i tried on my 8" were way to narrow, and the 245s i did get fit almost perfect.

IMO, sidewalls are supposed to be parrallel with the wheel and not 'in' because of a too narrow tire.

But yes cant wait to see em mounted.:cheers:
Some people like stretch.
I like the stretched look, but the ride isn't as comfortable.
Guess i see it as alot more rim protection, and more rubber to to road for traction.
The sidewall isnt meant to drive on. And i like to rip through turns and last thing i need is a screamin tire to blow its bead mid-turn.

A 100mph highside taught me a rough respect rubber lesson.

Im by no means a tire expert, just my personal learnings.

i like my rubber comfortable and feeling good, not so tight its cutting off circulation.;)
So where's the pictures?

The 8.5" were back-order so I went with the 7.5" and 225 wide tires.... They'll ship in 7-10 days -_-
Shipped :D

Hi guys, do you think the TRD Big Brake Kit would fit on my xB with these wheel?
The TRD BBK are 340mm (13.38”) Drilled Rotors
And K Sport says that 355mm (14") large ventilated discs require 18" wheels. ( for their ProComp BBK)
The offset on my Enkei wheels is 35 mm, which is pretty standard.

Thanks!
38 mm is the offset
