Default Got my xxr 521's on

Got my wheels put on recently, super happy with the way it came out. Though, i wish i would have went with a slightly bigger tire in the front.

XXR 521 Matte Black 18x10 all around
Front: 255/35
Rear: 275/35

Looking to lower soon













Happy Easter all!

Offset? +1 on the drop... doesn't look bad at all.

judging by the stock height, offset seems very conservative. pretty sure you'd need some spacers after you lower it to make it look aggressive. But not a bad start

More agressive off sets would have helped.
Spacers and lowering to compensate are needed.
IMO,I'd have gone with 19" rims.Or,if using 18's would have
used a 40 series tire.It would have helped your gap at the
wheel wells.



+25 offset all around

Would have went with a 19" but the 521's only come in 18/20". I wanted to do a 40 series tire, but was afraid of rubbing issues. So many tire options, blah...i'm still satisfied though.

Mount those 275/35's up fron and put a 275/40 on the rear. It will close the gap and look a lot better.

275/35 all around could also be a nice looking option.

+1... OP you can probably go about 1.0-1.5" lower and not rub on a 35 series tire.

^^^It's a real veilside lip but its fiberglass. I bought it off a local guy who ended up going with a full kit. He gave me that lip, the rear lip and a stock spoiler for 120 lol. Guess I got a deal

Exclamation need some help with some tire sizes.

well i just put in a pre order for XXR 527 18x9.75 for my 03 Z and been trying to figure out some tire sizes and i need some help. alright first, i personally am going with a square setup instead of staggered, and was wondering if a 275/40 tire would fit up front? the car is still on stock suspension too. i know it'll be good out back but im not sure if it will rub in the front. if anything 265/40 would be good all around?

thanks
