Default xB on 18" Wheels

Just wondering if anybody knows if 18" wheels will fit an '05 xB with Eibach springs installed.

Also wondering if anybody knows of aftermarket foglights for the xb that fit into the stock foglight cutout, preferably some sort of projector foglight. The lights I bought from toyota are no good.

Thank You

before you give up on your factory fog lights, maybe try out the luminics bulbs. Search the forums for some posts on them. Seem to be much brighter than stock bulbs in the fogs, and might just save the "stock" look.

Thanks Scott! I saw that you have lowering springs on your ride. How many iches did that give you and do you have aftermarket wheels?

You can go as low as you want w/ the right width and offset.

So do you think with 18" and a 2" (Eibach springs) drop I will be ok without any mods to the fender or wheel well?
