Whats the best size tire to stretch on the XXR 521 18x10 et25? I was thinking 215/40/18? I know 225's have a stretch but I think I want more stretch for more spacer poke : )
So 215 or 225?

Nothing less than a 255 to keep your car from looking stupid.

See, I disagree with you there. You're giving a biased answer to someone who wants a stretched look. 255 isn't much of a stretch at all.
I personally think a 225/35 or 225/40 looks good on an 18x10 wheel.

It's all just a matter of the taste of the owner.

Twofastfurya, I'd go with nothing lower than a 225 though, personally.
I will have to partially agree with terrasmak though by saying that too much of a stretch can look bad.

Edit: Removed vendor names and contact due to forum rules. You know how many distributors/vendors there are over here in SoCal? This place had the 530 & 527s (18x9.75 +20) in stock as of Thursday 6/7 when I called. I thought about picking up another set.

Do you have tire sizes for these? What are you lowered on? Spacers?

I'd like to get these wheels just trying to find some more info before I order
