Now are you on coils or springs? I forgot...the reason I ask is cause if you are as low as me, with your planned tire size and adapters you'll most likely rub...alot. If you are on springs you are good to go.

I'll also help you out some more and lift my car up and measure the distance from my rims to my suspension, just to make sure you enough clearance with the 21mm adapters. You should be good though...

Again, can't wait to see the setup and good luck with everything!!

He's riding on Eibach Sportlines (1.2"F/2.2"R drop). The 17x8.5/9.5 +56 wheels with 21mm adapters will have an affective offset of +35. This will put him basically dead flush (maybe 1/8" of poke), and with the 205/50 and 225/45 stretched tires I don't foresee any rubbing problems... worst case scenario would be a little fender rolling, but I don't think that will be necessary.

Hector: I saw that you mentioned chrome... what color is your xB? Chrome only looks good on certain colors, and it will also add considerable weight to the wheels.

 

You are right again, Sportlines, but by this time next year I hope to be bagged. Once that happens I will change the tires and space the wheels to achieve the look I want and need. I will also be doing the fender roll now, because it is only a matter of time before I want to get lower and lower…… LOL

I have a Super White xB. Main reason while I felt it only right to ask EMAN’s permission to bite his sick vision of our ride.

I can’t wait to roll in so cal on this set up.
Thanks again.

don't know how to add a picture, but here is a link I set up.

Here you go.

 

 

^^^The Works are nice, but I think that they get over-powered by that huge body kit...Get the same rims in 18'' or 19'' and that would look hot!!

I have to agree with Emanuel but I bet they would look sick with your stock bumpers too. Love vs-xx!

 

i wish i had my stock bumpers...been considering a rumion conversion, but idk how much longer im gonna keep the car.

 

rumion conversions arent worth the money... 3g's for just the front end is ridiculous. You can piece it together on yahoo japan but you wont be saving yourself enough money to make it worth it. I bet you could pick up a couple bumpers from pick apart for a few hundred bucks. They'll make the resale go up in the long run too.

 

Lovin the GOLD! ;)

 

The black and gold is nice but I have to say the bodykit does kinda over power the wheels........I can assume your on air MasterbB?

 

yes, but the body kit is gone

 

you went back to stock?

 

stock bumpers yeah. If I ever get my wheels back i'll post some pics. was too low to run the kit

 

i think im a little late, but i wanted to share my 17 with everybody, still working on it

 

What happen to your wheels bro? I would love to find a set of them I think the gold on red would look sick.

 

Vw2Xb2 the all white snow trooper thing is sick and I like the rack, but I bet its hard to keep those wheels clean? Thats always a deciding factor besides looks when I buy wheels is how hard and long will it take me to clean them? LOL

 

it is a pain to keep them clean, i have never liked rims with a lot of spokes, but this was a really good deal i could not pass.... still working on my faring sticker bomb and i have a sticker bomb inside too

 

after waiting months to get my wheels repaired two of them still didnt hold air

 

Quick question, Right now im on df210 springs, on 18x8 +32 offset 215/40/18. My question is if I go down to 17x7 +38 offset on df210's, will my car get lower? also im thinking of going 17 because I need more rubber.
