That tire sounds too big for the xB, I hope you don't have any problems. My 225/30R20's rub a bit.

yah the 225/35/20 are more of a pain in the *ss but they are not to bad....now when my 225/35/20's wear out then hell yah i am getting 225/30/20's or if they are actually released the 215/30/20's "i dont care if they ride like crap" 1" lower is 1" lower no matter how you look at it! the only reason i opted for the 225/35/20's in the begining was cuz of the price "sponsor"...

Did all of you guys have to hammer and roll???
i was planning on it the day i put them on but did not have time...hit a couple of bumps and the tires rolled the fenders for me oh well damn lazy minitrucker...but yah you should roll the fenders "slowly" the paint chips like EASY!

Yeah, it rubs some, but i have to cut some more. As far as the lip goes, i hit an 18 wheeler tire that was laying in the road, while going 90mph. Not fun

Can you turn the wheels all the way? Does the fender hit the top of the tire?

I'm stock height on 20s. I'm thinking of going with the TRD springs.

I really like the look of large wheels. But what I dont like is the degredadion in ride, handling, accelleration, and braking that comes with them. I dont see how someone could not notice a difference between these, and 16 or 17 inch wheels. When I went from 17 to 15 on my miata, it made a HUGE difference.

would anyone in north atlanta be willing go give me a ride (or maybee even drive) a big rimm'ed xB? I'd like to see how it rides. In return, I'd give you a ride or drive in my supercharged miata
