I am wondering what size wheels to get. Does the tire size affect the ride that much? Can any of you give me some pics of 15' on an xb plz?? Preferably not back rims. Thx. Do any of you reccomend and 15's?

 

I also just want to replace the std rims and wheel covers with custom rims. Anyone got ant good pictures and sources to buy?

 

I'd recommend 15s, maybe not totally for looks, but the xB performs much much better with lighter alloy 15s. Discount Tire is good, and they can order stuff that's not on their website, like Rotas. I have black Rota Slipstreams on a BOP xB from there. The acceleration is much faster and easier on the vehicle (search for unsprung weight on reasons why). I would take pictures, but A) it needs a bath from all the pollen, and B) I'd like to wait for springs, but that will take a few weeks.

I don't know about ride, but I would think 17s could make acceleration a little worse. Wider tire and maybe a heavier wheel could play a role.

 

thx for the info.. could you take a pic soon though.. i am wanting to get a BOP xB and i want to see what rims look good on it

 

I took two quick pictures. 15x6.5 black Rota Slipstreams with stock Goodyear Eagle LS tires. I'm telling ya, this makes throttle response much snappier. Big performance gain.

The over/under on "you need to lower that box" replies is 2. I'm trying to get some Tein H-types. Ya'll calm down.
