unless you always want to drive straight it won't work. how can you turn the wheel and not have them intruding into the engine bay? unless you lift the car dramatically, i dont think it will work

if money is no issue...you could move the engine to the rear....make it a rear wheel drive car...then you would have room to turn

instead of a donk or a bubble that'd def be a box.

I highly doubt any 26" will be available in 4x100 pattern

plus you WILL snap your axle like a twig

like these lexanis:

do you have the motegi 20" rims?? if so are they great? if not, how do they fit. do they rub when you go into full lock? i'm looking into getting 20" rims =]

remove front fenderliners, trim sideskirts (the part that are in the wheelwell) trim front and rear lip that is in wheelwell, and remove those little plastic mud guards from the rear bumper...

about what it'd look like

That looks a bit dubious to me. Notice the smearing of the pixels beneath the wheels? Looks like Photoshop or Gimp.

what about the fact.. that with the stock motor, the car would barely be able to move

Rims

You would have to put Tundra or Tacoma spindles on your xB to get them to fit, but this will change the ride height looking like a Donk or somthing! Also I do not know if the spindles would fit your xB, but if they do that would be one way of doing it!

Of course that's fake dude... still, pretty funny, and a decent photoshop.

WOW!! Thats funny looking!

I also forgot that you would have to do some heavy mod's to the back end to get it to match the front! Its not like could put truck leaf springs on the back of an xb so you would have to have that box all the way up in the air like a monster truck to get 28in rims under it and then you would have to get you a rope ladder to just get into your ride!

Now if you got some meatel working tools and was able to role the edge of the wheel wells out to about twice the factory size then you could do it, but then you would tare your tranz up so bad with that big of a tire and you would have to change the brakes to about a 14in size and put that on the back end as well and extend your brake lines and put truck shocks and springs on it!

You would have to put about 20k into this to get it to work!
