not sure if im double posting.. but what size tires should u get if you buy 18" rims on the xB? What size keeps the same tire diameter as stock as to not mess up the speedo?

Here are some quick calculations:
205/35/18 Diameter Difference: -0.43%
215/35/18 Diameter Difference: +0.76%
195/35/18 Diameter Difference: +1.56%
195/40/18 Diameter Difference: +1.66%
225/30/18 Diameter Diffenence: -1.82%
225/35/18 Diameter Diffenence: +1.91%
205/40/18 Diameter Difference: +2.91%
Now you have to choose how wide you want to go.

i have the Pirelli 215/35/18, and a 2" drop, and they still don't fill my wheelwell all the way, so i would advise to get a 45 series tire to fill the wheelwell all the way, and to give you a better ride, cuz the 35 series are really rough riding.
