I love my '09 xB - so much in fact that I have considered keeping it instead of getting a taller vehicle that will take me more places.
So I have been having thoughts of putting taller tires, even all terrain/offroad tires on a set of stock steelies in order to give me a bit more ground clearance and cushiness so that I can navigate some of the rougher graded roads around here that are off limits with low profile tires and pretty wheels.
Can you say xB SUV?
So, rather than debate the merits of my idea, has anyone seen this done before, looked into it themselves or have any idea what the best wheel/tire setup would be to accomplish my goal, should I decide to move forward?
I have this vision floating through my head of a slightly lifted xB with some fat BFG A/Ts, a push bar with offroad lights and beefy roof rack. :clown:
