18x9.75 275/35

 

Alright, to start things off, I'm looking to put a set of wheels on my car to add to the look of it.
Besides a few performance and audio mods, along with a greddy exhaust my car is pretty much stock.
With all that said, I'm looking to buy a budgeted pair of rims. Out of all the ones I've seen, I think I've narrowed my options down to either the XXR 521 or the XXR 526. I'd go with the black w/silver lip regardless of which I chose.
I know they're heavy and not the most supported rims, but hey.. I'm on a budget.

I will be lowering my car with eibach sportline springs. I'm also wondering what size spacers I should put on the front/back in regards to both the 18" and 20" wheels.

Tl;DR :
1) XXR 521 or XXR 526?
2) 18" or 20"? (18x9, 18x10.5) or (20x9.5 20x11).
3) Spacer size?
4) Fender rolling needed?

I want them to look as aggresive as possible.
As you see, I'm far from experienced. All help is appreciated!
Thanks!

521:

 

Put the wheels-tires on the car. Measure the distance between the tire and fender. There you go.

 

No spacer needed, just install. If you feel you need a spacer later, measure and buy the spacer you want.

Better yet, research a bit more. Add the spacer budget into the wheel budget and buy better wheels.

i prefer the 521 because of the stepped lip.
do they come in 19's?? if so, that is what I would go with. If not then 20"

 

just saw a set of 526 in person, liked them alot, and... after all my b#tching, they are TWO pounds heavier than my Forgestars. Not that bad man.

20" ftw.. no one will agree.

Im buying a set to roll when im tired of the concave look and want a lip and dont want to spend another 2-3k.

 

I know how to determine the size of the spacers once I get the wheels, thanks though!

Yeah, I've checked out that thread, that's actually how I was introduced to the 526's actually. As far the spacers go, I know I'm going to want spacers. They're a must.

Nope, unfortunately neither the 521s nor 526s come in 19s. Wish they did.
Do you know what size the ones you saw were? Yeah, two pounds more isn't much by any means.
Why won't people agree on 20's?
Thanks for posting.

Damn...only 18s? Look like 19s..fantastic!!

 

A few pics I took

 

Those are the 526's right? Are they 18s or 20s? Oh and what springs/coils are you dropped on?

Looks good man.

 

Thanks man. They are 18x10.5 245/40 all around dropped on eibach sportlines but soon to be coilovers. I need to be a little lower.

 

gotta love a stock body dropped silverstone. im jelly.

 

Why you jelly lol. Yours is looking clean.

 

What lip do you have on?

 

Theres something about a dropped stock body that touches me in the right places.

 

It's the Veilside v1 lip. Probably the cleanest looking lip out there imho...

 

What is the offset on your rims?

 

RyebreadZ your car is looking good man! I don't think I'm gonna go as aggressive as you cause I want a little more meat than a 245 but we will see once I get them ordered.

 

The 18x10.5 526's are +20 offset
