XBSITE - The Definitive Source for the Scion xB

ok .......... i was explaining this to someone elts and thaught, hey.... other would want to know this too.

i have the black 16x8 15 offset with 195/50/16 falken 912
when i first put them on i had s-tech springs with 10mm hub spacers and the back rubbed so bad i had smoke comming out of my wheel wells, the front is not an issue, never has been.
first off the hub spacers had to go.

i took everthing out of the back and it went away for the most part. about a week after that i installed my Tein SS coilovers so i was able to rase it up a little untill i put my -3 camber on.
even with that ............ at hightway speeds i would still rub a tad bit every now and then.
so i gat a Eastwood fender roller off ebay, used it and then just turned around and resold it, i only lost like $50.

i no longer EVER have any rubbing issues

this is befor camber with out fenders rolled, with nothing in the back and noone in the car




the next 2 is with camber without fenders rolled, alos "nothing" in the back and noone inthe car.



and thease last pics are with the fenders rolled

and this is with "alot" of stuff in the back & driver + 1 passenger


no more rubbing, "EVER"

i guess i still need to do a DIY on this, ive got all the pics.

i can see the difference in pics a write up would be great

Ideally you are making the fender piece that is pointed at the tire, and tucking it in so it won't touch the tire anymore. Does that give about 1/4 to 1/2 more clearance?

1/2" extra clearance + i did flair them out a bit wile i was at it so i got about 11/16 extra total
i raely need to do the DIY on folling fenders, i thaught everyone knew what is was

Looks great Carl. I'm going with the +3 when I can afford the shims. One of our members has a roller and has offered to let me use it. Did you crack the paint at all?
