Tirerack actually test fits everything, so you know when you order from them there will be no issues. SSR and OZ does tend to be more expensive than other commonly available brands, but they're worth it. Tirerack carries some less expensive stuff too. They tend to be a little conservative on their sizing and offsets though, so you're less likely to get a "flush" fitment because it's likely to rub under certain conditions.

No, otherway around.
Tire rack is conservative, meaning the rims generally tuck under/behind the fenderlip, whereas a lot of folks here are looking for FLUSH which is even with the fender lip.
With a FLUSH fitment, if you dropped it enough and hit a big pothole etc or had a lot of body roll the fender would hit the tire.

Motegi Racing has a better one. you can even slam the car.

Check this link to see and example of lowering. Unfortunately, it's not the xb shown, but it will give you a good idea of the visual effects of lowering!
