Regading Aaron's wheels, I know for fact not a single Xb here in state running the wheels he got and NO they are not WORKS, lets just say something a tad different.
Aaron, some fender pull/roll and some camber in rears is a sure thing. Fronts are what you should be worried about. They are going to stick out pretty good amount (and don't forget you might need that 5mm spacer) so either some fender work in front, or set of Damd fender flares and call it day.

thats exactly the answer i was looking for.
btw, i already got some fender flares on the way. i couldnt afford the damd ones and i didnt like the rivetted look. i ended up getting some carbon fiber ones and am planning on painting them to match the car.

Infact they are very very popular but they are Japan Market only and can not be ordered by international dealers that's why JDMPalace placed the order and they are on their way to him !!

I thought they werent that popular since I havent seen a set on any xB yet here in the states. Especially a brand new set, and especially the fitment like that. To me popular means everybody has them, I know it will be awesome when it arrives, especially in the islands. My brother and I both had a set in 13s, he had a vw I had a civic LOL

that old school nostalgic look hasn't been too popular with any of the late model japanese cars up until maybe several years back and is slowly starting to catch speed just like the whole "VIP" thing. keeping in mind that i said "late model" cars. i know the older toyota crowd here locally for example loves that kind of look.
should match well with the camo paint scheme though.

Yep Yep,
at first I was not sure about them but Aaron he wanted them so, he is the Boss !! But I just placed an order for another guy in HI !! You guys sure know what you want and the cost doesn't seem to mattter
So far I know 6 guys in HI who should have pretty nice cars.
