And I am also not putting bigger wheels on it. I used to have 18s, but wanted something that was all about handling, hence the wheels and tire size. Lightweight -- lower unsprung weight, less rotating mass. My goal is to make the xB handle as good as possible.

Feel free to post it up on Scionetics. Check out my xB in the link below and you'll see how the "Car Show" works on my site.
Again, nice look. Clean

The box really sticks with those Yokohamas. However, they have very stiff sidewalls and the ride ins't too comfy. Then again, I expected this. Now I really want to get the Progress rear swaybar.

Yes, I sold the 18s a few weeks ago to a fellow Scionlife member.
Thanks for the compliments.
Also, as far as going lower, the roads in Milwaukee are horrible and I don't want to run out of suspension travel. That, and if I go lower I won't be able to get in my driveway.
