XXR Wheels Thread
Glad to see more people are snagging XXR's for their Z's. Just bought 8 521's for drift spares, saw a friend with 962's on his S13 go sideways directly into a curb and the wheels lip just had a small chip on the side. Didn't need to be shown more than that to believe these things are pretty damn strong

i want to go that route but still trying to figure our the tire setup.
i've seen people do 18x10.5 with staggered tires.
if i don't go with staggered tires, im thinking of doing 275/35/18 all around or 255/40/18 all around.
reason with the 255/40 is for the bigger sidewall.
my car is currently dropped on Stance GR+ and im slightly tucking the stock 18's. i hope that one of the 2 setups work. it rubs up front as it is and i don't plan on raising the damn car.
what's everyones input on tires who suggests 18x10.5?
staggered: 235/40 front and 255/40 rear (slight stretch---if any) ??
square: 255/40 all around or 275/35 all around?

i got tired of searching to make sure they would fit and called xxr. they can tell you if they will fit on your car and what offset you need for what you want it too look like. i wanted my flush so i got 20+ rear and 25+ front. thats what they said i needed so i trust they are right

18x9+25 will never be anywhere close to flush up front on a z, no matter what tire either, not saying it will look bad, just saying it could fit better.
ive seen 18x11-4, 18x11.5+7 and 19x11+0 up front on a z without wide fenders
you can only trust a knockoff company so much, lol

i do plan on running a spacer in the rear since im already running a 25mm on my stock wheels.
i really don't want to ruin the steering/handling characteristics with running a square setup since i've heard it was drastic. some even prefer square setup > staggered. tires are too pricey to just take that chance. lol
if i run the 20's all around, what tire size should i look for to have the over all diamete closest to the stock 18's? im lowering on H&R springs soon as i choose wheels. im afraid ill jack my Z up high instead of lowering it.
What size hub centric rings do I need for XXR 522 wheels? Or are these a "one size fits all" type of thing. Sorry, but I've read some stuff on this and while I get the gist of it, I can't find an answer to this question. Thanks guys.
