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

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.

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.

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.

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.

:No problem...
By the way, you sold me on those 526's! So i just ordered some today, i ordered the 18x9 +35 all around chromium color. Cant wait to get em & change the look on my ride a little. Plus i had already bought new tires about a month ago so they're ready to be mounted & slapped on!! Tires are the:wo ontinental Extreme Contact DW. I LOVE INCOME TAX TIME!!
