Default OK to drop on Stock Rubber?

My xB is my 10th car I've owned but the first one I've ever wanted to mod, so I'm getting in the game kinda late. :oops: I haven't decided which rims and tires I want yet but want to drop it NOW. Will I be OK with the stock wheels/tires on there or am I going to have problems? I'm about to order some DF210s and I don't want to get things I can't use yet or cause my xB any trouble.

Thanks in advance.

I knew those comments would be coming ...and I fully agree.

But Ya gotta start somewhere and I can do the springs without the wifey noticing. The rims are gonna be harder to hide. :twisted:

Besides, I'm already pimpin' in my Spinner 'caps... :oops: I know they are cheesy but they crack me up... hehehehehehehehe

OK, I'm sold... But now Modacar.com says they are on Backorder. Anyone know where I can beat $152 + CA tax with no shipping cost? ( I was able to order the Injen intake tho) Sorry getting off -topic for this forum.

Thanks for all the help guys. As Samantha on Scionworld at Yahoo says:

I was planning on talking to you about an install. Hopefully a saturday one...

Of course the DF210s seem to be out of stock everywhere. The quest continues.

I was originally going to get the Goldlines but I don't like how they look lower in the back. I like how the DF210s sit a little lower in the front.

Going to the PA meet tomorrow so I'll get some real looks and maybe change my mind.

What's your price on the Goldlines?
