I tired 18x8.75 +20.... I failed

I had a set of XXR 522's on backorder since feb. and i finally got impatient and ordered something a little different. I decided to try the XXR 527's in 18x8.75 +20 on all corners i knew it was going to be aggressive.... just a little too much for my tastes though!

they look pretty damn good though huh?!

You need to actually put the car on the ground to see how "aggressive" these wheels are.

+1 Hil.
Right now you are seeing positive camber due to suspension geometry. Once the suspension is loaded back on the ground, natural camber will take its place to bring the wheel in a bit.

After some calculation, you'll need a mild stretch to fit depending on your drop and tire choice.

Is it just me or am I starting to see more and more of the these odd widths now? Haven't seen very many x.75" wheels until the past couple of weeks.

An inch? Then the specs have to be more aggressive than 8.75" and +20

I'm basing this off a comparison to my front wheels: 19x9" +6

But of course, your lowered pics would be more conclusive.

you'll be fine you can add like a 5mm or 10mm spacer to make it nice a flushed. looks aggressive at first and then when it cambers in it'll sit better
