It's cool. I have dubz but unless you get the same old TIS wheels, have fun running dubz. I would go with 19'z if I could do it all over again!

What did you have to remove to make em fit w/o rubbing.... Probally not going to lower but is there any other issues w/ rubbing?

had? on an xB? I highly doubt that. 20s only work with a 1" drop at most and there still is a little cutting to get em to fit. and if you go 2", you have to roll the fenders and cut away at some plastic in the wheel well.

you CAN'T put 20s with a 2" drop and not have to do any work.

so im a liar? i "HAD" only because someone offered me an awesome amount for them. otherwise i would still have them. and YES it was with a 2" drop and i would load the hell out of my car and drive it all over the place. i use my box for picking up merchandise. i once had it filled with 2 set of 22" wheels and 8 tires.

If it was that easy, you would see "Dub Box" sitting with a 2" and his wheels were 20x7.5 What were yours? He had minor adjustments made to fit them with the 1" drop and he said, along with everyone else I have personally talked to who ride 20s, that there was a lot involved to get 2" to ride perfectly.

You make it seem like they bolt in with a 2" drop without having to do anything. If this was true, everyone would be doing it. Oviously you have big rims on an xB but the process is what the guy needs to know. How did you get them to fit?

dont call BS on something you dont know about....whether or not its called for or not you are the idiot quoting me and calling what i say "BS". i never said that i didnt have to do some cutting to make it work...but that doesnt matter cuz you have to cut the hell out of the car to even get the wheel on the hub.

A whole lot of coping and pasting?

i cut the same part of the side skirt that everyone else did to get the 20's to fit. i used the TIS 03 which is a 20x7.5 with is 225-35-20 nitto 555. my car is lowered 2 inches and after that i simply removed the plastic linings in both the front and rear of the car and thats about it. i never said it was easy. someone said it was not possible, i simply replied.
