xxr 522's
 

Hey guys, a deal didn't go through with some spacers so i was looking for some affordable and good looking rims and i came across these.

XXR 522's - chromium black

i was looking at the 19's for a more aggressive look... I'm not too familiar with offsets so that's why i'm asking in this section.

I'm looking at these specs and was wanting some opinions on what would look flush.

18x9.5 offsets
5x100 - 5x4.5/114.3 38
5x4.5/114.3 - 5x120 25

19x10
5x4.5/114.3 - 5x120 42
5x4.5/114.3 - 5x120 20

i was wanting to put the 18s in the front...but if you guys see a problem let me know...you could even put in your 2 cents about tire variations, too

side note, i have a 03 track and love my stock rays and will keep them but am just looking for some variation, thanks fellas

If you want a 18/19 stagger go with:

Front: 18x9.5 5x4.5/114.3 25 offset
Rear: 19x10 5x4.5/114.3 20 offset

Maybe sell that POS overpriced exhaust u nuthug and buy some better wheels?

should take a look at this guy's thread:

Those spokes poke up way farther out than the pictures they provide on the websites selling them. Some like it, some don't, up to you.

Please don't remove your lightweight Rays wheels to install the cheapist crap wheel on the market. There also about 10 pounds heavier than stock.

trust me, i won't be running anyone when i have these on, they are for looks only, i love my rays

should've known you would show up here, you're in the wrong section "exhaust" whore, and i'm still looking for those pics on your page

what makes it a crap wheel??? because they are a low price. Would you call someone's z crap because they got it for 10 grand when someone else paid 19 for theirs...i don't see what the fuss is about. I'll be taking them off and on for track days...most aftermarket wheels are heavier than the 03 rays, and trust me, the xxr's are not 28 lbs like you are saying, I wouldn't even consider them if they were

I've had nothing but good experiences with XXR's... People flame them cuz they're cheap, but if you like them who cares? I personally think they look good, and they are not that heavy as some people claim... If you like them, put them on your car... Nevermind the "Exhaust Whore", he's just riding dick like the rest of the haters...

thanks z33 and to the others....thermal, recommendations for tire size to keep it within the slip light problem??? thanks for the help guys

As usual, the answer is in the Top 100 Questions thread.

sry mod, i'll check, figured i could get more out of z33...since he's has personal experience with these wheels

Front: 255/40/18
Rear: 285/35/19

i think this will work with no light issue, i used a tire calc and the wheel specs from thermal, anyone had a problem running this setup???

There may be, especially on the nismo edition, its a perfect setup except for the extra understeer added.

I think I would do:
255/40/18
275/35/19

285 is fine, i would just rather run the same size or smaller overall diameter for the back tires (compared to stock).

I ran the 245 40 18 front and 285 35 19 rear with no problems...

xxrs are great so phug off fanboys

I will quote the post (#42) from the Top 100 Questions thread....

Even better than the 255/285 combo - less understeer.

Your welcome... As far as slip light I didn't have that problem cuz I have a Base model... But when I had my 17f/18r stagger I used 245/45/17 front and 265/40/18 rear... Use the tire calculator from 1010tires .com
