i have a 08 xb black sand pearl. i am shopping for wheels and i have a few questions that i was hoping to get answered.

1. how big can i go with stock ride height?
2. can the dealership adjust my speedo and odometer to compensate for the difference in wheel size?
3. does anyone have any suggestions for wheels? or a good web site for a good deal.


i live in the R.I. / Massachesetts area so if anyone has some wheels for sale i may be interested. stock or aftermarket.

thanks

Tire size calculator
you can go with 22" x 7.5 but you wont be able to turn much, 20x7.5 are good. the oem TRD wheels are 19's and i have 18"x8" and im lowered about 2.5"-3.25" and im lovin it

Hey Elusive, How are ya?
I'm planning on 18x7.5 5-100 114 40 Rims (Liquid Metal Venoms)
Wrapped with Falken 225/40 R18's
I'm going with the 225/40's and 18's so I have a little extra rubber on the ground (for potholes which I try my best to avoid, and shitty road conditions here in Yonkers, NY) Although I wasn't planning on lowering, now I am thinking twice about it after seeing 18's with stock ride height. So -

Question:
I have to assume that the TRD lowering springs will be ok with this set up as the website, nor my dealer say how much they lower the front and rear. Is this a safe assumption? Does anybody know? I don't want to rub at all!
And oh, I can't friggin wait to get my ride
2010 Super White.

Thanks to all for the help/advice

I have 18x8 +40 offset 225/40 tires with Hotchkis springs, lower than dfs and TRD, with no rubbing. So you will be fine. Its still a smooth ride unless your hitting freeway potholes.

Thanks a lot guys, you're a great help as usual.
Now I just have to wonder if I want to turn my front bumper into a snow plow around here in the winter - ouch!

Will post pics when I get her in my driveway!
Thanks again.
