Generally, if you're only dropping your car about an inch, such as with TRD springs, you don't need to cut the stops on the stock shocks... if you're dropping more than that, then take an inch off the stops, or basically cut them in half.

As far as rim sizes go, it all depends on the offset - there are guys running up to 9" wide wheels on the rear of the xD... just gotta get the wheels centered in the wheel well with the proper wheel offset. Tire sizes are kinda a moot point, because you buy the tire to the same overall diameter as the stock tires, no matter if you are buying 15" or 19" rims - unless you want to go to the expense of recalibrating the speedo after putting a larger or smaller diameter tires on your car. The larger the rim size, the lower the profile (height) of the tire you put on it, so that the the outside diameter (or circumference) of the tire stays as close to stock as possible.
