i dont consider that any worse than 20s. actually, anything bigger than 17s i think looks funny on an xB usually. some can pull it off, but most cant. thats just my personal opinion though as i like smaller wheels.

i guess we'll wait and see. as with anything, i know someone will get it and post pics...

some how im guessing thats not gunna happen, plus you would have to have a special ultra tiny tire made to fit it, would love to see it but the only way thatll ever look normal is on bags with the fender wells tubbed or totally taken out, now that would be hot

you'd have to bag the car to bring back down to stock height. Where's the fun in that? And to think people laugh at cartoonish cars in Japan!? What do you think that will look like? I life size version of DUB xB model. LOL

Bigger is better, I run 17's everyday and run 20's at the shows and i'm bagged. If I have the chance, I 'm going to get a set of them 22's........They would look sick on the xb.

so silly, i think its bs, nobody makes a tire that is anyware close to fitting the application, its gonna look like a cprice on 26's, stupid, although being a valet i have parked a caprice like mid 80s with 26s looked super dumb and couldnt turn for ____

have fun raising the xB to get them to fit. let alone trying to make a u-turn in an xB w/ them. either that or a major re-work of the front and rear fenders and suspension.
