im getting my black sand pearl xB this friday and just wanted some opinions on whether or not these rims would look good on it along with eibach lowering springs (front-1.6" rear-2")

and also, im getting them in 17's with the stock size tires (215-45-17) and was wondering if they would rub after i lowered it.

 

from what i've read ALL over these forums, they wont rub. but i dont own an xB (and therefore dont have it lowered)

 

alright thanks, i didnt think they would either since there is a good amount of room between the tire and fender at stock height, but i just wanted to make sure before i spent the money on the springs.

 

i would wait though until someone with more knowleadge comes in, cuz i would HATE to steer you in the wrong direction

 

I'm not a rim guy, but look at the car: there's a good 4" in between the top of the stock tires and the wheelwell, I'm sure you'll be fine.

 

you'll be fine.

 

I saw one the other day. The guy had a 1.5 inch drop and 18'S and there was plenty or room. Probably could have gone lower, or could have put 20'S on it.

 

i have the same rims in sliver man i love them so i will tell you what is true .I have 18s and they will scrub only when tires are turned to the make not under normal driving conditions .I would not go 20s for nothing these guys will do anything to be cool but i drive every day to work so i wnt for the best combo and for a confortable ride
with these wheels the offset is such that you will need the brake shims from
One Ton Garage the man Van Phan was the best help to me and had me the parts next day they fit like a champ so do this it will save you and also offsets theback tires to look perfect with the front
if you need anything let me know ive done this and can help you get it done the first time email if you need it
