General Lowering question

Hey mate, i own a 2012 rukus and i am running tanabe df210 springs with 19" xxr wheels, i don't get any rub on the guards what so ever, only abit of underneath scrape on a big pothole or when i got a few in the back, just the standard, its a sexy drop too.. my update thread is here.

Flex,

That looks awesome.
I have to figure it out - I found some Advanti Denaros for cheap but everyone is telling me the price difference is out of this world plus the ride is ****. I might just go 18s to play it safe since I run a lot of miles.

Thanks for the help!

Hey All,
I am new to the forums here!
I have a 2011 xB and I am thinking about getting either 18s or 20s and lowering it too.

I'd like to not have to make any mods or shave/cut anything to fit my wheels and lower it about 1.7 front 2.2 back or so.

Any suggestions would be great!
Thanks

With the amount you want to drop the car there is no problem going with iether 18s or 20s. It will all depend on the width and offset of the wheel and the width of the tires. If you want to run an 18 most are around 8" wide and if you have an offset around 40ish then you can fit a 215 or 225/40 series tire on it and have no clearence issues at all.

If you want to run 20s then something in that same width and offset range and a 225/30 series tire will give you the same clearence for the fenders.

Awesome! Thanks Greg!

I found these guys

I assume the offset is ok - though it just said high positive and I was told 35-45 was ok for the xb. I might give these a shot, It's pretty close to what I have had in mind.

Those will fit without any issues.

Welcome home.

those wheels will look good.

Good luck in your future plans
