they just dropped a BBS RS knock off and I'm quite interested, just wondering how these would look on a 2011 xB

planning to go with 17x8.5 +15
will I need to roll my fenders if I already have Tein S-techs on?

Thanks!

 

Sweet color correcting Axis, I wonder who's next to make a BBS style rep?

But for your question, they'll stick out almost an additional 2" so I would say rolling would be necessary, pretty sure stock is some where ~ 7.5" wide ~ +40's

 

Those will poke 1" up front, and about 1/2" in the rear. I think you're gonna rub even with rolled fenders on the S-Tech drop.


OEM steelies are 16x6.5 +45

 

Contact bean garage I belive their running a special on then

If you run a narrow tire with a bit of stretch, you should be fine. Pandanky and Lakay have been running 16x8 +0 for a while and I don't think they have rolled at all.

 

No roll work done..

 

Oh, yeah I wasn't think of steelies.

 

There you have it. DF drop seems pretty similar to S-tech.

 

Amount of drop is almost identical, but S-tech spring rates are considerably stiffer, especially in the rear.

Tanabe DF210 1.7/2.1 2.4/2.7
Tein S-Tech 1.7/2.2 3.1/4.1

 

If you like those you might like these. They are Kyowa Zero Mesh and they are in the following sizes
18x8 et 38 5x114.3
18x8 et 35 5x100
18x8 et 38 5x114.3 Mass lip
18x8 et 35 5x100 Mass lip
Kyowa says they weigh 23 lbs.

 

Such weak options. Sooooo weak.

 

this is how my current setup looks, they are 17x8.25 +35, I have less than 0.5" poke up front and the rear is about flush. I'm planning to keep these same tires which are 215s.
