XXR Wheels

[ericmpena]

Decided on moving forward with a staggered setup. 7.5 front, 8.75 rear. I've found 4 sites with shipped prices ranging from $569-$617. Gonna get Discount Tire to price match and hopefully have these installed this week.

Yeah, they were the 3rd cheapest. I found 2 other sites that were a little cheaper..and 1 site slighting more expensive. Gonna end up going to Discount Tire and have them price match. It's easier to get them to order the wheels for me for the same price.

What size will you be getting, because I am also in the market of getting new wheels, and I don't know what size wheels will fit on stock struts and stock springs

From that I've seen:
18x7.5 +38 will look flush up front, but the rear will need a 10mm wheel spacer. You can see in this pic how the front looks good, but the rear is inside the fender. With 7.5 width you get some concave, but if you want a more aggressive look then you'd want 8.75 width.


18x8.75 +33 will look flush in the rear, but the front will poke out 5mm or so. You can apparently fix the front wheels sticking out by adjusting the camber. This is the setup most people go for. From experience I know I want to avoid poke in the front. I really don't like the look. Also, I'm not sure if I like how concave wheels look up front. This is a great picture though...so it really gives me second thought about going staggered.


18x9.75 +20 will stick out a ton on the front and rear. This just looks weird. The bottom picture managed to get 18x9.75 +20 all around. He had rubbing issues of course. You'd need to make some fender mods to run those...

Just to give you an idea of the difference in concave.

7.5



8.75



9.75



Personally I think 8.75 give plenty of concave look. 9.75 is overkill. My only debate is wether I want 7.5 up front or 8.75 all around. No one is running these staggered so that's kind of intriguing.

theres another xxr thread with the 527/530 with tons of pics, but thanks for the concave pics very helpful....i'm leaning toward a square setup of the 18x8.75s but using the +33/35 offset up front and possibly +20 rear to give the staggered appearence, i think theres some pics of +20s in the rear with minimal poke and possibly zero rub/fender modding

I just installed 18x7.5 +38 front, and 18x8.75 +33 rear. Check out my posts in this thread for some pics if you're curious how staggered setup looks on these.

I haven't seen anyone run staggered with that setup, but I know that 9.75 only comes with +20 offset, which puts the wheels way far out of the fenders. 8.75 up front will have a little poke, depending on camber. I went with 7.5 front, 8.75 rear and I think it looks perfect.
8.75 front and 9.75 rear will have poke at both ends, but if that's the look you're doing for then you shouldn't have a problem!

Hell, I have no idea anymore. It was some weird ass site that I had never heard of...but Discount Tire price matched anyways.
