I was just wondering what prep work if any needs to be done for putting 20" (20x7.5) rims on my '06 xB. Can they be tossed on with the factor suspension or do I have to do some mods to the wheel well...? thanks.

this is the look that i am going for as far as the flushness of the wheels...

 

IMO, 20" is too big and looks silly.
But, with the stock suspension, you shouldn't have too many issues.

 

Wagon wheels! ( ^o^)

Hahaha! But yeah. You will need some cambering of the suspension & some fender rolling to get them to fit. It's too much wheel for the xB.

I personally would not do anything larger than 16", but that's me. I prefer smaller, but wider like 8" to 9". (^_^ )

 

Not a big fan of the DUBS on the box but I've seen that set up without mods. It really depends on offset.

 

Don't know about fitment, but you should try to drive only down hill. The box is slow enough without 400 lbs of unsprung weight at the axles.

 

not with our brakes.......

 

looks sick!

 

(20 x 7.5) (offset +42) (backspace 5 7/8 ) (215/30/20)

Stock height = no modification

Tunabe DF-210 Drop springs = no modification

Air ride = No modification in rear and can still drive laid out, Front needed some love taps to the firewall with a sledge hammer, lol

 

dumped on 20's is one thing, but just slappin some wagon wheels on there isn't too sexy.

stance before rim size
