That I couldn't say sorry. I didn't measure the drop. If you car is stock, measure from fender to top of tire. I am just about even with the tire if not a tiny bit lower. It needs to get raised, but it looks prefect for me.

Sorry for the late response. The 17x7 was custom machined strangely because the site I ordered from (carid.com) basically wouldn't list the size as purchasable when you enter your vehicle because "they won't guarantee fitment". There is a form you can fill out or something basically owning all liability for bad fitment but by that point I was just ready to order. It took over 3 months to get them to my door.

The 8.25 width is basically the standard option from XXR with a couple others in the 17 diameter but maybe not the right bolt pattern. I've ready mostly positives about that set, I wish I would have gone with them.

BEWARE: the added width will increase grip so if that's what you're going for great..just make sure you get a tire with a very firm sidewall and you may want to stay away from Uber sticky compound. Otherwise you'll find lots of sway added into the chassis and if you cheap out on tires like I did, it's nearly uncontrollable at all speeds at even the slightest of turning.

I'll pm you some poke pics if I still have them. The fronts are basically fully flush, the rears suck just a little. Also if you can find them I would look for satin finish or gloss, the matte looks very dirty and ricey very quickly.

And do you mean TRD springs? That's what's on in the quoted pic, it's supposedly about a 1" drop, this was right after install also. I would recommend them. If you're running the TRD springs lots if people here fit 18x9+ XXRs if I remember correctly with no issue what so ever even lowered.

Good luck!

Has anyone bought the new forged 527 wheels?

530's in 17x7 are available on nlmotoring. I'm not sure if they ship to Canada.

527's also come in 17x7.5, nice that these come in a less aggressive size now.

Np buddy!! I ended up buyin the 530s 17x8.25 +35's. What tires do you reccomend. I live in pacific northwest. Not allt of snow. Alot of rain. Rarely drops down to freezing temps. Shootin for a good all season. Although ive heard super sports do really well in the rain.

Hmm that's a tough one, haven't looked into all seasons at all so I can't really recommend anything. I don't think PSS is what you want to cover those rare snow days though, it's a dedicated summer tire and doesn't compromise anything for winter traction.

Does anybody know if the factory lug nuts will fit the wheels?

Hmm, so I should buy the lug nuts and the rest for the xxr 555 that I purchased from nlmotoring? I was already planning on purchasing hub centric rings, but now just wondering if I should just go through them or buy each individually?

You can get all that from nlmotoring. Buy the wheels, hubcentric rings, and you need spline (tuner) lug nuts and make sure you get the 12x1.25 size. As mentioned above stock lug nuts will not fit aftermarket wheels.

For lugs I went with the McGard 65554BK splinedrive set. Awesome quality with a locking lug for each wheel.
