You can now see the rims on an xb.
even better they have hot lava as a color for the xB so you can even check which color you like better!

That's cool, but Tire Rack dosen't have a good selection of wheels. They have good deals on tires though :D .

That is such a cool feature!!!! Just think if we alter the height and then put the wheels in motion!!!!!
All wheel/tire sites should have that!!!

I concur, i was looking at this site for wheels when i first started, but i have found many more styles i like, and better prices other places. Im going to end up getting my wheels from a dealer in Ebay, $750 for everything.

Not to mention having the correct number of lugs! :)

Tirerack actually test fits everything, so you know when you order from them there will be no issues. SSR and OZ does tend to be more expensive than other commonly available brands, but they're worth it. Tirerack carries some less expensive stuff too. They tend to be a little conservative on their sizing and offsets though, so you're less likely to get a "flush" fitment because it's likely to rub under certain conditions.

Huh? I thought you said they check evrything so there are no probs.... then you say they might rub cuz they aren't flush???? I'm lost :?: :?: :?:

No, otherway around.
Tire rack is conservative, meaning the rims generally tuck under/behind the fenderlip, whereas a lot of folks here are looking for FLUSH which is even with the fender lip.


With a FLUSH fitment, if you dropped it enough and hit a big pothole etc or had a lot of body roll the fender would hit the tire.

Check this link to see and example of lowering. Unfortunately, it's not the xb shown, but it will give you a good idea of the visual effects of lowering!

Okay, that's sweet Roger, really shows the diff a 2 inch drop with bigger wheels can do! i'm planning on getting wheels and dropping my box this weekend, if all goes well, i'm pretty stoked on it... :) woot woot!
