How bad do bigger wheels hurt handling?
 
If i get the Tanabe DF210's and throw on some 18x8's all the way around or some 19x8's......... How bad will it affect my handling?....Speedo?.....lotsa rubbing?..... I drive very.... spiritedly, and don't want to lose the great handling that i feel the Xb has... Any opinions are welcomed... thanks guys

depends on your tire size.
if u lowered ur car on those DF210 springs.
and u put like a 18x8 with a tire size of 215/35..
u should be ok(depending on your offset).

as for handling, the rims will not affect that much.
at a 215/35 18" tires, its like 1/4" bigger in diameter in comparison to the
stock tire size(not being a low-profile)

Thank you sooooo very much for the helpful response....I will surely look into that setup... I love how my box handles....can't wait to get it to a lower center of gravity and get it a wheel and tire package that will assist in less sidewall flwx while cornering..
