okay so i have an 06 xB.
i'm going to buy rims and different people keep telling me different things. some say i'll need new springs and a camber kit, some say i wont, some say i need to figure out the offset, and all this stuff. just want some help since i'm new to all of this haha.

i'm planning on buying 17inch XXR 962 rims. i'm also planning on getting the tanabe DF210 springs to lower my car.

was wondering what yalls opinion was on all this since i keep getting so many different answers to what i need.
i just want to make sure i do all this right the first time.

thanks! :)

You planning on running the 17x7, 17x9 or a staggered set?

17X7.
but now i think i've decided i'm going to get coils instead because i want to slam my xB.
haven't bought anything yet because i'm still researching and talking to other xB owners. any info helps.

IIRC the 17x7 have a +40 offset so you will be fine. Even with coils you should have no problems since the wheels are so tucked.

what if i eventually want to be flush?
would i still be able to do that?

You can get those wheels flush but it will require some serious spacers. If the flush look is what your going for it will be easier with different wheels.
