Smile Hey! First Post/wheel question

Hey ClubLexus, I have been on the forms for a while now but I have never posted my car. Tell me what you think! I have coilovers and exhaust on it right now and am looking for a pair of wheels, which brings me to my next question. I want to get 20 inch wheels but my budget doesn't allow it so I am going to get wheels I can use the tires I have now on. The wheels I want are XXR521. I think the stock rims are 18 x 8.0 and 18 x 8.5 The XXR's only have 8.5 width so what would I need to do to get my front tires to fit? Thanks!

You need to stretch your front tires a bit for the wheels to fit. Otherwise, buy new front tires. Oh and welcome!

Welcme to CL. You can stretch the front tires to fit the new wheels. (some wheel shops might not want to do it).
