I did read the buyers guide first. I am putting on 18x7 wheels with 215/35/18. Don't know the offset yet. Is there a lowering spring out there that will lower the xB enough to tuck the tires into the fenders and yet high enough not to scrap over bumps? Thanks

 

goldline's will drop you down 2", IM not sure if they will tuck you under the fenders but it is a sick drop, I have eibach pro-kit on mine, youll probably want to get some coilovers if you want them to be tucked nice and tight, I know with the Goldline's you wont have any issues driving around and hitting bumps, good luck.. there are MAD threads about suspension on here homie just start searching and you will find all the answers you will ever need!

Welcome to the Family......

 

Tanabe Df210 drops you 2.2 and 2. Your better off getting Coilovers
or and Airride if you want your wheels to tuck, Plus they're adjustable

 

you will need a heavy stereo with goldlines or tanabe's or just simply get coilovers.

 

go air im half way done with mine and im wondering why i didnt dp it sooner just got the back in and the ride is so much better

 

Tein H Tech 1" drop , i know it sounds ___ but i had the exact same rims and tires size on my xb, your gonna scrap your wheel well if not ur bumper, fo mr 1" was enough, plus i didn't have to spend money on camber kits

 

I'm running 19's with Tein S-Techs. The ride is good, handles great, and I never bottom out.

 

Yeah, I love my S-Techs too. I haven't scarped either.

 

I am running DF210's and they leave small gap between the fender and wheels, the only way you will tuck the 18's will be with coilovers or air as everyone has been saying.

As for the rubbing, this has alot to do with the offset of your wheels and how deep you plan on tuking the wheels inside the fenders, just remember.... so still have to turn, not just look good

 

Was running Tanabe DF on a 18X7.5 & switched to a 17X8.5 with the 10mm. shim in the rear with minor rear scrapage. Think you will prolly be fine either way.

I must agree Tanabe & Goldline both give a very nice stance

 

this is some pictures of my friends car. He has 18s that he bought from the dealer, im not too sure about the with and offset. I do know that he has Tein S techs. the first two pics is with about 5 people in the car. He told me that he has no rubbing or scraping! We took the picture when he rolled out to show him the tuck.

 

If you look at my pics in my profile I'm running goldlines with 18x7.5 rims with 10mm spacers in the rear that I sell. I'm going coilovers or bags soon so I probably will have my springs 4 sale soon as well.

Send me a pm if you got any questions on my setup if interested.

 

just bag it and you can tuck all day and still be able to go over speedbumps and everything you mean to tuck in the rear of front as well, after i bagged mine i had it down to low where the front was tucking some tire and tried to turn and i put a nice sized gash in the sidewall of my new wheels and tires, hey we all make mistakes.

 

not sure if you want to go the bagged route. That would be the unltimate setup for drop and clearance on the fly. but like my pictures indicate, its not that hard to tuck 18s. When you start getting down in rim size like me (16s) or even smaller 15s, its harder to tuck with just springs. you should get the tanabes df210s. That should tuck you just fine, give it some time to settle.
