So what is the word on this? Would 20's be too big on the xb2. We have all seen how great Marshall's (eight0eightcustoms) looks lowered with his 19's and I think the Mrr h3's have the perfect look for me but I m just not sure if they are TOO big. What does everyone think?

i liked wheels that radius the fenders and 1/4 panels. For the xB, i think it would be too much. A set of 18s with proper sizes would outweigh 20s on a xB. IMO

thanks man..

20s with the right offset will fit.. if you going tuck the wheels i think it would look sick..

Those H3 i was my first choice but only in the real Japan version made by cosmic. What happen was i wanted 19s but they didnt have the width and offest for the rears and MRR also discontinued the 19s. Those willook sick if you can get them with the deapest concave in the rear where it looks like someone took a ice cream scooper and dug the middel out.. i could have gottten them but it would have took 4 months and i dndt want to wait for them. but i decided to get the garsons becuase no one had them or there was no copies in the USA yet.

I forget what the the offests on the 20s of the MRR are but i know they come in 8.5 and 9.5. If you can find out the offest of those 8.5 for the fronts and 9.5 for the rear you can figure if they will work.. if not just make them work..

i know that 8.5 and 9.5 has been done but there was some rubbing.. but you know what they say just bag it and roll those fenders and its all good.

My wheels are 9s in the rear with a +35 offest and i measured the inside of the lip and the shock clearnace and there is about a 1.5 inch space.. so if you gett he right offset the rears you can run 10 with ease and prob could stuff an 10.5 inch somehow..

Marshall, your like me, if it doesn't fit, I will make it fit LOL.
See I was thinking that with a little fender work, and maybe some mild tire strech, it should work fine with the drop that a set of Tanabe df210's will give me. Plus with the 5axis lip kit it will look lower :)

I think these are 19's with some crazy lip action.

Is it just me thou, or does the fit on those last two pics just look wrong?

Also Marshall I contacted MRR about the offset, I guess we will see what they come back with. Tango also told me to PM you about maybe helping out with some Garson items :)

PANCAKES!

With the body of the 2nd gen xBs, 20s with the correct offsets would like nice as Marshall has stated. Just choose a nice & simple wheel. 22s on the other hand is too big.

22s is way to big.... the largest i would go is 20s..

Not to impressed by that XB..

air runner should have swung me that kit.. would have got way more exposure on my car..

with 22s the car dont look even dropped. it prob raised the car a few inches even though it was slammed low..

No, 22's start running into that Donk/Bubble look I think. 22's would just be like, " Look I am trying so hard to be cool" LOL Now on the other hand, 22's tucking with airbags:biggthumpup: Just because of the fab work to get those to tuck.

I guess once MRR get back with me on the offsets, we will see if this is going to work. I hope so because it will look freaking nuts.!!!!

Hahahahahahhaa! you guys are funny!

OF COURSE '22s are WAY too big! That's obvious!
I jus posted the pic cause I had it! Air runner still aims there
product towards the dub crowd but they are tryna aim it torwards VIP!
It's jus the DUB crowd is more profitable for them I guess...........

Oscar you know how this community is when you post shit like that. =) And I'm sure Shin didn't just give that guy a kit. He probably just paid wholesale.

Ok, just got an email back from Carlos at Mrr. Looks like the 20X8.5 for the front would have a 35 offset and the 20X9.5 for the rear would be 40 offset.

What do you think?
