Scion xD : Encyclopedia

[Zefoxe]

I figured I'd just set something up since I'm bored and no one really has too much info set up... PM if theres anything to be added!

The Scion xD is a five-door hatchback subcompact marketed in the US by Japanese automaker Toyota beginning with the 2008 model year — replacing the xA. The Scion xD and the second generation xB were first shown to the public on February 8, 2007 at the Chicago Auto Show.[1] The xD appeared in Scion showrooms in summer 2007.

Scion xD is based on the Japanese Toyota iSt and many of the options available for that model (iSt) will fit. Not only that, the xD falls into the bargain bin models and shares its chassis as well as the transmission with the the Yaris. This allows for many Yaris/Vitz suspension mods to be equipped with minimal to no problems. The Scion xD also shares engines (2ZR) with the European perfomance model of the Yaris, the TSport.

Wiper blades :

Wheels :
Wheels sized from 15"-19" can fit properly on the xD without any alterations.
As width goes, it seems 8" is the max before rubbing the fenders.
Offset is usually good to stay between 35-45

Tire Sizes :
15" wheels - 50 height is a good combo, gives u a little bit of a drop in height and still fills in the fender gap nicely
16" wheels - 60 is the stock height but 50s can also be used if your looking for a little bit of a drop in height
17" wheels - 45 seems like a perfect match and also come equipped to stock tC wheels that can be swapped. I run this height on my own 17s
18" wheels - 40 is the height used by Toyota for their TRD optional wheels.
19" wheels -
Width depends on the rim size. 7" 215/225 seem to be a good combo and 225/235 for 8" and so on. For half sizes (7.5", etc) I would stick with the larger size as the whole (7" = 225, etc)

More to come....
