I've heard of rubbing issues if you use OTG shims and 205/50/15 tires, but that's only if you're running DF210 springs.

I run 195/50/15, dropped on DF210s w/5mm spacers in the back and they fit perfectly. No rubbing, even when loaded down with people or cargo

I am totally convinced and went ahead with placing a deposit on a set. I will be picking them up Saturday and mounting my stock goodyears on them until I get new tires. Hopefully I can find a tire shop around my area that is willing to stretch the stock tires on these wheels. Ive heard of people having a hard time finding a tire shop that would mount the 185s on a 8" wheel. I'll post pics once they are mounted and installed. Thanks for all the info guys.

BraveLittleToaster - What size are the wheels on each of those xBs? From what I have seen there are 15x7, 15x8, and 16x8 501s. If they are 8" wide, are there any issues with rubbing with the +15 offset? Thanks.

The ones above are 15x8 with a 15 offset. These wheels are designed for the xB. You will now have any problems running them even with a 2" drop. You could put on a 5mm spacer in the rear to even it out and you will be alright.

cyergey

imboxtin - Could you please post pics when they are mounted? I've have dying to see what the gold looks like on Shadow Mica. If possible...a nice sunny picture. Thanks!

ChampionJeep

I agree. I will be running df210's with echo struts for a year. I plan on getting some coilovers next year.

Rims are looking good. When are you getting your springs and when are you mounting them?

Well i ordered my springs on the 26th and they still have not sent them out yet i'm alittle disapointed .
I thought they would have sent them out the latest monday since i ordered them on friday. I just called because i didn;t recieve a tracking number yet and the guy said he will send them out tomorrow or the next day what???
i'm almost gonna cancel and order somewhere else .
I might go see if i can get them mounted tonight or a day or so .

i work 9-5 so night or weekend and "family"is all the time i have.
i was thinking about getting new tires on them, this way if it snows i can take em off!

You should get your money back. I ordered my springs Sunday night the springs were shipped on Monday and I will have them on Wednesday. I ordered from PTuning.com. If you go that route us ptscionlife as a discount code. They will give you 5% off.
