hi guys i need some help on wheels fitment i dont have too many $$ to spent so i was looking on those wheels:

xxr 521

18x 8.5 +25mm
18x 10 +25mm

xxr 526

18x 9 +25mm
18x 10.5 +20mm

i'm looking for a little bit aggressive thanks

I have the 521's, theyll fit nice. But they're actually
18x8 +30
18x10 +25
You'll have to do a fender roll so they wont rub.
Im running em on 215/40 & 225/40

thanks bro.... how negative camber did you go on the back? also and lower 2' all around on springs that would be good enough?

altezzaguy 02-08-12 09:56 PM

I have about a 2° camber. 2 inch drop should be good, i would go with coilovers though so you can play with your set up & get it perfect to your taste.

or just wait for the news 511's

18x 7.5 +42mm
18x 9.5 +35mm

I think for the offset on the 526's you will need a fender roll + minor fender pull.
Those 511look pretty nice, & with those offsets you won't need and fender roll or anything, but you might end up needing some wheel spacers if you want an aggressive look. To me, +30-35 offset all around is perfect, but it all depends on your taste & what look you're trying to achieve.

thanks altezza i think my best choice are the 521's i like the way your is look:thumbup:

i like a little bit aggressive

altezzaguy 02-09-12 09:07 AM

No problem, so you found my car huh? Yeah, the 521's look nice. I always get compliments on the wheels, just remember that you're gonna need a feeder roll if you don't want to rub.
Post up some before & after pics of your ride once you get em.

luis300 02-09-12 11:22 AM

i wll thanks a lot bro

luis300 02-09-12 11:44 AM

one more question bro if look in here for the 521's wheels
http://www.nlmotoring.com

i'm looking the gloss black since my is is solar yellow for the front there are two different offset they have
18x 8.5 +35mm
18x 8.5 +25mm

which offset is best for the fronts?

altezzaguy 02-09-12 08:23 PM

Go with the +35, cuz if you go with the +25 you will need a fender roll and fender pull or negative camber or you will rub a lot.

luis300 02-09-12 08:56 PM

thanks bro for all ur help :thumbup:

altezzaguy 02-09-12 11:04 PM

:No problem...
