Im a lil new to this, but i was think about lowering my xb. i will be running 225/40/18. i called a shop i got to regularly about lowering my ride. they said that i will be rubbing if i lower it, with the 1 1/2 lowering springs. i started laughing and was alright talk to u later........ is it true waht they said? i think they're crazy!!! what kind of set ups are everyone running??? any suggestions or help will be appreciated......

Keep looking around. There's a couple people running the Tanabe DF210 springs with the 225/40R18 size tire. It really depends on the offset of the wheel and the width.

I think an 18x8.5 wheel with a 38mm offset would be just fine!

im going to be running 18 x 8 i think it was 40 or 45 offset. how much of a drop are the tanabes. i do a lot of commuting and am not looking to have a lot of issues,

I'm running 18x8 40 w/ 225/40R18 size tires and 2+" drop. No rubbing at all.
I will be changing to the DF210's soon.

Thanks for the info and help fellas. I will feel more comfortable lowering and commuting now. I kinda figured they were full of $h!t, but to each their own

I will be changing to the DF210's soon. ^^ those tires, rims are 18x7.5 same offset, on DF210's no rubbing what so ever.

I've been wanting to see an xB2 on Konig Furthers. Looks great bro!

Dang eight08, thats the look i want right there. xB looks nice. how much would a good bag setup run??? i was thinking about that at first, but figured it would be too expensive. Thats why i was thinking of going the springs route.
