Default 19x9's?

Anyone running 19x9's on their xB? Just curious if they had to run a spacer or anything and what size tires they went with. I am planning on 235/35-19 in the front and 265/35-19 in the rear.... I am not worried about them sticking out past the body as their is something being added to take care of that....

depends on what offset you would have...I have a friend gonna run 16x9s in the rear and hes gonna have to roll his fenders...so you probably would do that first and damn 265 is really wide...you could probably fit them with extended wheel studs and spacers...also through some OTG shims on there...

um why would you run 265? that's damned wide for a 9 inch. and that will slow your car down sooooo much. just do 215 or 225 and stretch em.

I dont want the "stretched" look. I am doing the 265's because I want them to fill the wheel. Thats not too wide for a 9. Thats what I am running on the supra... I am not looking for speed anyways... If I wanted speed, I would be driving the supra or the bike....

your gonna have a world of problems trying to run that on the box, rolling your fenders is not going to be enough, not to mention u-turns....you can kiss them goodbye, the only thing that would be able to pull that off is fenderflares or widebody that actually cuts out part of your stock rear quarter panel and fenders...265, aren't those close to what a stock impala runs??????

i would worry less about the rear, the front is gonna be your main issue, what offset are you looking at, cuz there is not much space in the front of our cars.....trust me i try to stick every wheel we have in the warehouse on the ride.....so i will say good luck to you, but dont get your hopes too high

Well first, I am not worried about the clearance issues as the body is going to be "quite" wider. Also, the Tein widebody xB is running the same size tires... 235's up front and 265's out back. They are only 18's though...
