Hey all! I just bought my first xB 4 days ago and decided to check things out here. Once I found out the 2nd gen has a 5x114.3 lug pattern, I decided to try on my Nismo 350z wheels I had on my 240sx. I think its a pretty good fit! What about you?

That won't happen any time soon. Its my daily and I live in an area where bad roads are alllllll over the place.

I am with you on that. I am still rocking the stock steelies + tires bc the roads are unbelievably bad here.... I have been considering moving to 17s but i don't want to run the risk of getting a flat after hitting a pothole by having a smaller sidewall... i love the look but unfortunately, can't go that route...

i'm considering 16x7s or 16x8 and staying with a taller tire but to me, 17s and bigger look better.... so im staying with stock for now...

nice setup btw and congrats on the new ride.

Where can I get info on these flairs please.

i believe some RS's do come with trd springs but 2011's came the stock suspension(but i do have a moon roof). Just ordered some NF's i think I'm going to go with 225/40/18's to give me the extra clearance so I'm sure not to rub, cause it is a daily driver

I'm lowered on trd with 2011 tc wheels on my rs8. No rub no issues. I think the NF is very similar to the TRD springs.

TRD'S are 1"Front and 1.5R Tanabe's are 1"F and 1.7R. I have driven on both and the Tanabes are just a much smoother ride, Im on NF's 6years now and love them with 18x8 224-45-18 and never a problem.

Thanks drew. I might have to switch to the NF, just to soften up the ride a little.

if we ever get the chance to meet and check out each others xB, your more than welcome to take mine for a spin to see the difference.

Tks yes we should schedule something sometime. I'm redoing my stereo system. I want to listen to that jl sub you have sometime.

Thanks drew i might just step up to the 45r. this is the wifes car and she didnt much like the idea of lowering it cause it is her daily driver and baby hauler, but i convinced her with a few of the post on here that the nf210 would ride better than stock. So i got to keep im end of the deal and keep it riding smooth. After installing the springs ive got to order a set of black 18's too finish the look.

For people saying the roads are horrible, I'm from the metro detroit area and our roads suck to say the least but I still had df210s
(on air now!)and 18x8 with 225/40/18 tires and never had any problems. Just have to pay attention, but since I'm older (30) I drive slow anyways!! hahah
