I already know beforeanyone says something......I am just being courteous to my pregnant wife........I know I need to lower this thing....but here it is ....salsa with NKB Power mesh 16x9 with a 30 offset Falken 205/40/16 superstretch.....let me know what you guys think........

 

Hey--you got serious Lip! Looks good.

 

114 mm all the way around

 

Way too minitruck looking. Try adding some 2 inch spacers and go all the way.
At least with the short tires you will have a faster take off.

 

man that is a super stretched tire ,thats what i wanted to get on mine but i didnt know if it was going to work.so i got 215/45/17. i like the way it looks,what suspension are gonna go with?

 

 

Looks sweet! I like it alot .

 

I had goldlines on my last xb and I liked those.....I'll probly do the tanabe df210's

 

both srp and those rims are equivelent to sex.

 

stretched out like a $2 hooker arent ya.

 

well if you gotta stretch might as well be like a hooker ...I guess

 

Richdog... you can be courteous to your wife, and still be dropped. My wife rolld on 215/35/18 and is dropped 2" on DF210s with factory shocks. We recently took a trip to Monterey from Fresno with her 8 month pregnant best friend and her husband. The friend rode the whole way there and around Monterey before ever saying anything about being uncomfortable. I let her ride up front the rest of the time. She said that the ride was perfectly fine once in the front seat.

And to JethroB... WTF? When was the last time you saw a real minitruck? Or picked up a minitruckin' magazine? No one has stretched their tires since the very early 90s. Unless of course they don't speak English. Or well... live in Texas.

You really need to take a fresh look at minitrucks. It is probably one of the most innovative arena of the automotive industry today.

 

That was the only thing she asked me not to do until after she had the baby was lower the box..........normally I would do it anyway but this time it's a no go .......I can wait until early spring no problem......I'll just buy the stuff.........see I get more stuff for it in the waiting period then I'll put it all on in the spring........tanabes,progress rear sway,strut tower brace, jic frame brace,and some new rear shocks all at once so for that I can wait .........it all works out in the end

 

A drop will make that box look bad butt. Nice wheels BTW.

 

Hey thanks.....I think I might do coilovers.........what brand should I go with??????I want something middle of the road....I don't need top of the line.....something affordable.....I was thinking about progress

 

Now I have an idea of what my NKB's would look like w/o being lowered. Luckily my DF210's are arriving before the rims do.

Nice rims.

 

what rim are you getting....I would suggest a 215/40/16 instead of a 205/40/16

 

NKB Cup...should be arriving in a couple more weeks (ordered them end of May)

Was thinking strictly 215/40/16 and even at that its a STRETCH :p

 

thats a shame Jordan (shortbus) is selling his cups as we speak I think for everything wheels tires lug nuts spacers he was looking for 1500 ....but any way you can go to his profile and see exactly how you will look......or go to private party sales and look at his post for his wheels and he has pictures on there......I'll go bump it up now

 

Yeah he wasn't selling them at the time I ordered mine.

I've PM'd him a few times regarding his setup.
