if you dont mind me asking, how much were those tires.
What suspension are you running again?
You said the wheels are 8" wide. Do you think you could get 225 section tires on there without rubbing suspension bits or hitting fenders?

(---damn...a little late to this party!)
Minsk, those wheels are going to look just perfect on your ride! I like your sense of style mister, damn fine xB.
Did you decide on the tires yet? I thought the stock tires would look less substantial on 15/7's but the stretch isn't noticeable if any so, I think even if you went with the 205's you will get the desired effect.
Wouldn't the 215's get a little bouncey?
Whichever tire size you decide on I think the result will still be pretty.
Keep up the good work!
P.S. What drop did you decide on with your GroundControl's? The fit is great with the 15's IMHO!

I love the look of those and I bet the thing handles like it's glued to the road. It's great to see someone venture away from the standard 18" wheel. Personally, I'm getting sick of all these big wheels. They tend to weigh a lot and they effectively raise the final gearing of the car.
Do you know how much these wheels weigh? Does anyone know the stock wheel weight?
Where can you find these wheels to purchase? How much did you pay for them?
Why did you go with more offset in the front?

Yo Minsk, clean or dirty your ride is sweet! Great job, man!
So, what's your drop? Do you think you needed to go so low because the wheels (those are some fat tires ) still didn't fill the wheel wells?
Where in L.A. are you? I'd love to see and hear your xB in person! I think the Borla single is for me if that "mature" sound is what I am thinking it sounds like.
Anyway, congratulations!

Thanks Al. I'm not exactly sure of the drop on my Ground Control (relative to stock). Because my wheel diameter is almost an inch larger then stock, I am able to really fill in the gap and not be so close to the ground that I scuff my fender. Also, because I've got all that tire its kind a like having a second set of shocks. I have yet to bottom out on my drop. I've gone pot hole hunting in the Hollywood Hills and my Radials have done me right. I live very close to Silverlake (5 minutes away) so anytime you want to hear the Borla give me a PM.

I got the tires for $70 each including mounting and balancing. $270 per rim. The 8" are a limited edition that ATS made for Kerscher Tuning so they are expensive. If you are looking for a deep lip try hunting down the ATS Stern (also made for Kerscher) with a 15" x 9" in the rear and a 15" x 7" in front. That would look so Slammin! Also you wouldn't be bitin my ___. Just playin with ya. Anyway, Steve at Tunershop is a good place to check.

Would a 9" wide fit in the front? I've got my eye on a 16x9 ET15 but dont want to wuss out in the front if i dont have to. Stretched look isnt for me so I guess I'd need like a 245/45R16
