I'm close now, but I don't think that 19's would rub.

18's + 35 series tire + Tanabe DF210 + Monroe SensaTrac Front Struts (1/2" shorter than stock body)

This was all recently installed so it's not settled yet but it's not going down much more:

18x 7.5 42 MM offset Driv Royales wrapped in 215/40/18 Goodrich with 2" drop Goldline springs:

BTW wheel diameter is basically irrelevant as far as filling the wheel house. It is the overall diameter of the wheel and tire combination. This diameter should stay close to stock so as not to change the speedo accuracy or the overall gear ratio (changing tire diameter changes both, and also changes fuel economy). A little bit larger than 24" total diameter works and as you get bigger still clearances get tighter and tighter in various places in the wheel opening. the farther you go from stock diameter the more you effect speedo and final drive ratio.

yeah Ive noticed that gas mileage will be affected with bigger wheels and tires. But i've seen the xb's with 18's and they only look lowered 2" and they look great, it looks like the tire goes right to the wheel well, and that without a lip kit or anything so im just trying to get some ideas on how i can get mine to look like that
