205/45/17 w/ 2" drop will this work without any rubbing or anything ?
Also- what lowering springs does everyone recommend ? Is Arospeed any good ? I would like to keep the ride nice as stock. Is it possible if it is lowered ? Or will it be bouncy like alot of other cars when they are lowered.
Thanks

I have 215/40/17s with the Goldline 2" drop all around and I have no problems whatsoever...I could have gone with 45s, just a personal preference though...you will not have any rubbing issues with that setup...

nope dont buy the aerospeed springs get some tanabe DFs or Gold lines gold lines give a more stocklike ride but the DFs rake the car towards the front and are actually a little more controlled and stiff but not to stiff.

Thanks for the info.
Now can a 215/45/17 fit on the xb without rubbing ? I have heard yes and no from people on the board.

Yes it will fit, and no it most likely will not rub (if it does, it would be minimal)...if you are having doubts, why don't you just buy 40 aspect tires? Thats what I did. Or go ask a local tire shop...

It will rub a little when making a full turn but ever so slightly. If you trim the liner inside the fender well you won't rub at all. The more sidewall on the road the better the ride.

I have 215/45R17s and a 1 inch drop with the Tein H series spring. Very little rubbing at full lock on the steering wheel. The rubbing is with the plastic inner fender, so it will rub it away.
