Looks good but it's in serious need of a drop.

hello and welcome!
Box looks nice, but it looks like you could use some hub spacers in the rear to flush the wheels out to the fenders to match the fronts

if you do 19's and a moderate drop, you'll be around stock height, and have the wheel well gap filled.

Car looks great, keep up the great work!

oh alrighty. but are the tires on 19" wheels going to last longer than the tires on say a 17" wheel? i'm guessing the whole thing is with her driving it you want it to not be too low . since the cost of 19" wheels/tires and definitely replacement tires in the future... i think you'd be far better off with a small drop (easy to do) and a set of 17" wheels with some meatier tires like a 215/45.

just throwing ideas at you :-)

god i want that spoiler.

i'm not a fan of big wheels at all but they flow well with that kit. 19 are too much for an xB, keep what you have, a small drop like H-techs and space out the rear tires and your good to go.

and i like the bike hiding in the last pic.
