i dont plan on stretching tires. i just want to be flush but without going through the trouble of negative camber, and rolling fenders, etc... I'll prob end up going with 8.5 honestly. and throw some 30mm spacers on there. with some 15mm spacers on the rear. how would that look you think?

thanks for the input

 

Im gonna have to agree with goin 18x10 all around.

It is all personal preference tho. After all....it is your car.

I wanna try out a square set up..with a 275/35 all around. I personally dont like the 521 in the 8.5. Just looks.... "blah"

 

I'm doing the 10.5 all around but I'm curious about my tire sizes I need to run. If I go square won't that affect the vcd?

 

The tires that ive listed do not affect vdc IIRC.

 

I think that I'm going to go with a 40 series because I still want to tuck a little tire. I was thinking 245/40 front and 255/40 rear or maybe 245 square? Any thoughts? Thanks

 

I'm doing 10.5 all 4 corners with 245/40 all 4 corners

 

actually...if you just do some research on here...all these questions you do have...already have been answered.

anyways....245/40 square setup on a 18x9.5 has been done.

same with a 255/40 square setup on a 18x9.5. i can't remember the screen name of the person....but it was a blue Z with 18x9.5 work crKAI and i believe he was running a 245/40 or 255/40 all around.

although it is encouraged to run a staggered setup throughout the board....a square setup will work.

if you go with a square setup:
18x9 or 18x10 245/40, 255/40 all around will work. 265/35 and 275/35 will work also. (this is from what i've gathered on this board)

staggered wheel/tire setup. (assuming fronts are 8.5 or 9 width and rears a 10 width)
245/40 fronts and 275/40 rears
235/40 fronts and 255/40 rears---uncommon setup

keep in mind that the handling characteristics do change with running a square setup. do some research on that though. in the end...its just something you have to try out for yourself b/c it is personal preference since it will be YOUR car YOU will be DRIVING.

 

XXR makes a list of stanced aggressive rims for our cars regaurdless of the price the quality is great as far as i have experienced. I have had mine for a while now and have no complaints.

 

Xxr just announced some new models for 2012. Check out nlmotoring.com

 

I'm really anxious to see the specs on the 531's when they come out with 18's.

 

Ya me too. I am going to buy the 526's but I may wait to see the specs on those. The 16x8's have a 3 inch lip so maybe they will make an 18x10.5 with a big lip.

 

LOL @ those 531's lookin like CCW's.

those wheels are definitely gonna **** some people off. LAWLLL

 

xxr 526 being put to use...
10.5 in the rear, 235/40/18 w/20mm spacer

 

Looks good man. Do you think that it would rub with a 25mm and a 245 with a roll and minimal pull in the rear? It looks like you have plenty of room. Thanks

 

Does anyone have the weight of the 527's or 522's for 18x8.75 and 18x9.75?? Looking into these wheels but hard to find a weight.... any help appreciated.

 

My gf has the 527's in 18x8.75. I can try to find the weight....but wont be til the weekend.

 

go to www.nlmotoring.com

they have approximate weight listed with the rest of the specs

ie. it says the 527 18x9.75 is 21.8lbs

 

Due today
XXR 526 Gloss Black
10.5 x 18"
9.0 x 18"

Thinking about KDW 295 x 35 x 18 & 265 x 35 x 18 < edited after post. Sorry for the mistake.

 

^ those tires are gonna be BEYOND stretch. might as well roll on just the rim itself.

 

Hahaha, I'm pretty sure that's a typo. You couldn't fit a wheel that narrow on a rim that wide anyway.
