If you go with 18x9+25 in the front and 18x10.5+20 rear, you will be fine...depending on what size tires you use. If you still plan on reusing the tires you have, I wouldn't mount a 255 tire on a 9" wheel because the tire is an inch wider than the wheel itself. Anyhow, I would start asking other 526 owners in the link I posted above.

 

That will work. You can run 235 to 265 mm tires and you will be fine.

 

In all likelihood I'll be ordering those. Can't wait to put those badboys on my car.

 

Just wanted to let everyone know that I purchased the XXR 526 in Gloss Black, 10.5 inch and 9 inch staggered. I'll be posting pics up as soon as they're installed. Thanks for all the help!

 

Pictures, as promised:

You should have bought 6 wheels so you'd have a couple extra for when these wheels bend also.

 

Are they prone to bending?

 

Now you just have to order the proper rubber for your car. 265/35 is a great front tire.

 

I tried running 265 on my old set in the fronts, and the shop told me that they were too wide. 255's worked, however. The fitment of the front is pretty good, but the back is a bit more a gap between the rim and the tire than desired. Maybe a 285 width would do better?

 

First find a new shop, and yes a 285/35 would be better out back, then move your 265/35 to the front.


I will put $20 on it saying the 265's will fit up front and not rub with those wheels.

 

Closing since you made your decision

If you have any other questions regarding these wheels you can search first or post in the XXR thread
