Yes it is... I have Tanabe DF210s with the bumpstops removed for about 10k miles (long story short, a body shop who repaired a minor fender bender didn't reinstall my bumpstops causing the fronts to sag). Now, I reinstalled the bumpstops and the springs broke themselves in lower than usual. My buddy with the same springs sits about an inch higher than mine.
Thanks for explaining this. I'm running DF210's as well with a 16x9 rim and the xB sits, like you said, an inch higher than yours does. I love the look yours has in the front but I don't think I could cope with the constant rubbing that would cause.

Looks sweet though!!!

Thanks! The rubbing isn't too bad... I'll suffer a little bit for the look.

Here are a couple updated pictures with painted tail lights.

i have the same wheels, springs, fenders cut grinded and rolled. i have 205/50's that im rubbing to hell right now, but i just ordered some 195/45. im hoping these dont rub. if you didnt have the camber in the back, do you think it would still rub?

thanks.

ps- the lip of your wheels look chrome, reaaaallly shiny compared to mine. what do you use?

It's hard to say... I'm not rubbing to hell but it does have an occasional rub when my ride is packed. I haven't even had my fenders cut, grinded and rolled yet. I just mildly rolled them with a metal pipe. I think if I get them rolled professionally then I should be good. But the camber and the thinner stretched tires helps alot.

If you look real closely at the left rear tire, where the tread and the sidewall meet, its a little white there from rubbing on my inside fender. I don't do anything but wash my wheels with a soapy sponge and water.

Looks good... I am selling my wheels tomorrow though.

Anyone interested? Someone offered me $750 cash for my Sportmax 002 Golds with 195/45 tires.

^ Everyone has a set and fitment Sucks. Your gonna need atleast 5 degrees of camber in the rear to make it look nice like thundergod did.

I agree, but since this is my lady's daily driver and when she complains about the rubbing, especially with our kids in the car, then the price shoots through the roof.

Back to topic, gold 002 on 195/45s would look ill on ThunderGod's ride!
