If you like the way it looks, keep them on, if not, pop them off. How do you get through life having to make more difficult decisions? lol

You are the type of guy that cares too much about what other people think.

I plan on purchasing some gold 521's on my '03 Z 18x8.5 (+25mm) front 18x10 rear (+12mm)

Would I have any issues with fitment if I plan on putting some tein s tech lowering springs along with the wheels?

Default 275/40 on 18x10 (+12mm)

I'm going to be purchasing a pair of XXR 521's 18x10 (+12mm) for my rear wheels and I was wondering if it would be fine if the tires I use would be 275/40. I'm stock height at the moment.

You won't get much help here, there is a lot of XXR haters.

To answer your question....you'll be fine.

You will probably need a slight roll.

I agree with terrasmak… the tire/wheel setup will fit, but you might rub slightly, which will necessitate a fender roll. Not a big deal.

Unhappy XXR different wheel finish :(

One my XXR 522's in chromium black needed to be replace, So I ordered a single wheel from next level motoring..
Package came in only 3 days, so I was pretty excited.
Unfortunately.... The finish was off as fk -.- (Pictures bellow)

I just sent a email to next level motoring and hopefully they will correct this issue. However, I'll be paying another $50 for shipping (being in Hawaii)
Has anyone else experienced this problem before? Especially with XXR wheels?



BS.
