Thanks for the info, Padanky. Sorry I didn't get a pic up yet!

DF210's all around, 16x8 0 offsets, 205/45/16 Falken912's

^^^ Does NOT like speed bumps! Mudflaps, front fender area of pinchweld, middle section of exhaust, all scrape!

^^haha, told ya!!! I bottom out EVERYWHERE here in mississippi

Padanky · 10-28-2009, 08:11 PM

The only speed bumps I've went over were two at the kids daycare, not even that big (moveable ones 2" probably)

yeah, since I've had my tires I have ripped 2 of the plastic skid plates under the car off, and had to jack it up and wash underneath around the suspension stuff to get any loose rocks and/or debris out so it would fly out when I hit a bump haha

Just imagine if some one stole your car and you left that in there and when they popped the hood and saw it creeping out from behind your engine. I would probably freak them out.

I am running the DF210's in the rear and NF210 in the front...about to switch the front to the DF's with 17x7.5 with a 35+ offset bit I want to change that...maybe stick with 17's for a little more height...but go with 17x9.5 so I dont have to use spacers anymore, i dont know how nuts that will look....sweet set up though Padanky....

hey padank, have you rubbed any since getting these tires? I'm thinking maybe since i'm doing coilovers to go up a size in tires so I can close the fenderwell gap more and not push pebbles...thoughts?

Padanky · 11-02-2009, 06:40 AM

No rubbing, only dragging bottom. Haven't really loaded it down though.

azztinthebox · 11-02-2009, 06:51 PM

I haven't bottomed out, however my underneath is roughed up a bit! I have had up to 6 people 5 cases of beer 4 liters of rum and a custom sub box in the back...haha

Opps, too late!!)

This "Stupid" site used to get spam'd daily before the post count rule was in effect, it's there for a reason. If you stay around for the right reasons you shouldn't have a problem with getting the post count you need.

I'm interested in the pics, G/L.

i think those wheels would look a little better with a bigger wall. worst case you can heat the back fender with a heat gun place some magazines inbetween the wheel and the fender and sit on the back to pull them out a bit. theres to much wheel gap. i plan on runnin 16s with the stock tires so we'll see how it looks

azztinthebox · 12-13-2009, 10:37 PM

I rolled my fenders still didn't help you can only go so far with a xb2 because of the bolt placements for the front and rear bumbers. So small tires and hella drop on coilovers in the works for me!
