fitting XXR 527s 18?

[Ravens_CB7]

i want the xxr 527s on 18x9.5 +20 offset and would like to know if i would have any fitment problems if i have coilovers and with a 20 offset how much would they stick out? haven't seen any cbs with this shoes so i want to be the first if possible

UPDATE!!!! ok im still going with 18s but not wider than 8.25 and offset will be between 40 and 35 and no stretched tires. what you guys think???

lol the same type of rims i wanna get on my cb....where did you find them with that offset? i only ever see them with 0 offset and I would recommend going with 17s as oppose to 18s along with a higher offset. 20 offset is still in the range where slight fender rolling will be needed and itll look more ********* then anything.

on this website nlmotoring.com they have rim sizes and offsets and designs that other stores dont. well i wanted to get 18s because i would like to be in the stance category and there are lost of members that ride on 18s. i would def get the fenders rolled and some camber and coilovers.

Those are VERY wide, and the offset is crazy low. If you can fit a wheel of that width at all, and with that low offset, you're going to be running an excessive amount of negative camber. I hope you have money set aside for expensive replacement tires every couple months...

I will never understand this stupid fascination with cheap-shit XXR wheels, nor with the desire to buy them in sizes that require dangerous amounts of negative camber to fit them on the car...

Theres more to "Stanced" than just rims, camber & being tucked.. You can't just throw on all these things and expect it to look good haha

...or be safe.

Just noticed the wheel width. I would go with a much less wider wheel personally. As mentioned before that will require a hell of a lot of negative camber. But if youre looking for the stanced look thats the way to go lol.

[deevergote]

That width might not even clear the control arms, honestly.

well the offset its low but there is people here that run 0 offset and get away with it. if i get that low offset i will def get camber kits and fender flares to not use too much camber.

and its not that xxrs facinate me but more like what i can afford and lots of other people too.

heres a pic for example, might end up getting 17s but the idea of 18s just keeps stuck in my head. heres a pic of what i would like to achieve...


his set up is 17x9.75 +20

they have 8.75 width too that would be better?? and with fender flares i would also get spacers so i can clear the arms

You're aware that proper fender flares (ones that offer more clearance) will require cutting your current fenders, right?

I had 7.5" rims, +38 offset, and I rubbed at full lock.

yeah deev im aware of that and its ok with me no biggie, trust me im not rushing to do this, im taking precautions and research before jumping to do it. and if it gets to be a project done i will make sure to be a job done right. i have people that will help me too.

the worst case scenario would be that the project would not work and i would have to sell the wheels to get another ones.

but with what tire? i rubbed with 225's which is why you run a thinnier tire...

[MortsAccord]

Why? What is it that your trying to gain from this? a large diameter rim and super wide tire? What good do you hope this to do? How much are those rims? Do they come with some kind of lifetime replacement guarentee?

Lots of shitty cast rims do because they charge you out the ass for them, make an enormous profit, and usually don't have to replace them.

Many times you can get a set of forged 15"s for the price of cast 17 or 18 inch rims.

Tires with low aspect ratio's(profile) cause suspension to have a higher workload, and speaking from a cosmetic view, they make stock rotors look like tiny pieces of crap. not to mention on a big rim/low-pro tire setup all your rotational weight is shifted to the outer portion of the wheel, this has a negative impact on steering, acceleration and braking. low profile tires don't always have better handling either. even though they are wider and CAN offer more grip, again it falls back onto the cars suspension to be able to cope with the additional grip. if it cannot then your going to lose handling characteristics, not gain them.

[Ravens_CB7]

thats why the say says 'low and slow" lol im not gonna be racing that i wont be able to turn or brake because of the rim and tire size, and about the rotors well i guess i would have to update to bigger ones too
