wheel fitment pros, i need your knowledge. scion xb.

thinking About getting some wheels for the daily. long story short, I want them a lot so I need adapters to get them to fit. I want something slightly aggressive but still daily driveable.

airreck has a pretty aggressive setup using

front; 17x8 +10 using cusco camber plates
rear; 17x9.5 +19 using otg camber shims

pix (props to him btw)

my wheels, after adapters, would be;

front; 17x8 +16
rear; 17x9 +21
(by the way, I can go lower on the offsets... just not higher bc of the adapters)

I want something slightly aggressive and I'd also use otg shims and camber the front. I'd be using a stretched  205/40 tire to go lower.

my question is, is this practical? you think I'd run into any problems? any advice on the above setup or should I continue looking?

thx guys :)

I have been runnin the same setup for the past three years, and the only problem that i've had was the fender liner and the rubbing in the rear, which was corrected by -5 garson camber shims, fender rolling, and removal of the fender liner. 

wheel specs:
17 x 8 
17 x 9
 
205/40/17 all around

hope this helps. lmk if you're curious about anything else.

thx for the response. what are your offsets and do you have any pix of your setup? what suspension are you running? thanks again :)

not much on the suspension, just springs.. 

offsets:
17 x 8 +16 
17 x 9 +16

You should be good with that.  I run 17x8 Odisk 25 fronts with no camber and it looks pretty flush.    On the back I run the same, and it looks best when I add the 25mm studded spacer.   So yea, youll have a good fitment there.

pix of yours scotty?

I dont have any behind pics lately, but heres some side shots to at least see the proportions of 17s on it.    (the 25mm studded spacers werent on the backs at the time due to a broken lug nut)  17x8 25 offset O-disk front and back.
