Will the TRD Rims fit well with Goldlines(being it's drop more in inches) or will it easily rub on the fender well? I believe the TRD Rims are 19x8...

thanks!

should fit. I think the production model Goldlines will be more around 2".

Re: First dropped xB2

lot of ground clearance still but looks much better lowered. altho, I bet that roofline is still lower than a bagged xB.

Re: First dropped xB2

I just bought my 2008 Xb and I love it. I want to drop it but I don't want to lose the ride that I have now. How does it ride with the Goldline Springs? Also what size wheels and tires are you running? It looks sick!!!!

The ride feels the exact same as stock to me.
I'm running 8" x 18" wheels with a 40mm offset.
The tires are 225/40/18

Re: First dropped xB2

lowered and still rides like stock? that's too bad. you'd think the car would tighten up a bit.

I'm just debating because I don't want the bouncy ride that you get after you lower a car.

no bounce here.
with the low profile tires, you can feel more of the road, but on stockies, it felt stock.
