hey yall im finally gettin some wheels and i want some 19's but i have tein s techs and whenever i have people in the back seat i rub. i have also bottomed out a few times and do hit the exhaust every once in a while. well my question is, will they fit and are there any mods that im going to have to make? i already know what wheel i want and everything i am just not sure if they will fit. thanks ahead of time for the help.

 

anybody? i just want to know if they fit. i want my xb to look as good as munch's

 

???????????????????????

 

What size tire are you running today, and how much have you lowered the vehicle?

 

We had a similar problem on a customers xb that we put rims on. It would rub when loaded and every once in a while he would bottom out just like you mentioned. Our solution upon inspection was that the tire was rubbing on the inner wheel wells. All we did was cut out a piece of the wheel well where we saw that the tire was rubbing and vua-la!! No more rubbing. Check your wheel well for tire scuff marks and I bet if you modify them it will lessen your problem.

 

thanks for the responses! i lowered it on tein s techs, and i want to run 215/35 19's. i know putting 19's on it will lift it up a bit but what im worried about is when i put a load in the if its gonna hit? or should i just go with 18's? i really want 19's.

 

:? Might need to roll the fenders. With your springs you got about a 1.7 front & 1.5 rear drop. What kind of offset & width do the wheels you want have? A set of spacers might fix it all for you.

 

thanks chuksu! i think the offset of the wheels i am getting is 42 :?: not sure but thats what it says. also i feel like my rear is lower than the front it might be from my huge speaker box but i dont know. im probably going to just go with 19's i just dont know and its coming down to the wire.
