My xB is my 10th car I've owned but the first one I've ever wanted to mod, so I'm getting in the game kinda late. :oops: I haven't decided which rims and tires I want yet but want to drop it NOW. Will I be OK with the stock wheels/tires on there or am I going to have problems? I'm about to order some DF210s and I don't want to get things I can't use yet or cause my xB any trouble.

Thanks in advance.

I have the Tanabe DF210s on stock wheels and tires right now, and I have no problems at all. Click the link in my sig to see my car with the drop.

it wont look that great on stock wheels with hubcaps, but it wont rub or anything.

But it'll look way better than stock height...

I knew those comments would be coming :roll: :lol: ...and I fully agree.

But Ya gotta start somewhere and I can do the springs without the wifey noticing. The rims are gonna be harder to hide. :twisted:

Besides, I'm already pimpin' in my Spinner 'caps... :oops: I know they are cheesy but they crack me up... hehehehehehehehe

OK, I'm sold... But now Modacar.com says they are on Backorder. Anyone know where I can beat $152 + CA tax with no shipping cost? ( I was able to order the Injen intake tho) Sorry getting off -topic for this forum.

Thanks for all the help guys. As Samantha on Scionworld at Yahoo says:

I was planning on talking to you about an install. Hopefully a saturday one...

Of course the DF210s seem to be out of stock everywhere. The quest continues.

I was originally going to get the Goldlines but I don't like how they look lower in the back. I like how the DF210s sit a little lower in the front.

Going to the PA meet tomorrow so I'll get some real looks and maybe change my mind.

What's your price on the Goldlines?

Yeah, but how do you put them on the front?

Seriously, for the front, a rally lift would need longer struts. I did this many eons ago to a Datsun 510. It was a matter of walking up to the Nissan parts counter, looking in the competition catalog, and ordering the appropriate struts. I have a feeling that Toyota won't be quite so accommodating! It's a lot easier to lower than to raise.

Yeah, what he said. Couldn't pass up the deal.

Gabe, I PMed you about installation.

The wife's been talking about getting the Driveway cement repaired since we moved into this house. After measuring this morning, I may have to do it just so my box doesn't rub. Shhh, don't tell her thats why, she's already getting jealous...
