Also interested if anyone has because I've been debating them.

Is it worth picking up a set of XXR 527's right now when they are on sale or does NLmotoring have sales often?

Is anyone running 527's 17x8.25 +25 with Eibach Sportlines?
If so is there any poke in the front or how much camber do you need to tuck them?

Yeah I saw earlier but it had no camber specs. Trying to decide if I want these in +25 or +35.
Would prefer not to need a stretched tire but still want flushness but not "hella".

Well then... +35, camber bolts, 225/45 or 245/40 tires. Read through this thread more... Tons of good info.

Just ordered a set of 527 17x8.25 +35 in Gold. For some reason, I see two different shade of gold for this wheel on nlmotoring. One is a darker gold and another is a much brighter and lighter gold. I want the darker looking gold, but i am worrying that i am gonna get the lighter one. Anyone know if the differences are just the pictures they posted on the website or there are two gold shades? Also, has anyone has personal experience with the gold color to peel/chip off? I read a lot about the bronze has that issue, but have not seen anyone with gold issue. I might powder coat it if it is as bad as the bronze ones.

Anyone running wheel spacers? I have a staggered setup:

XXR 530 Black Chromium
7.50x18 +38 w/ BFGoodrich gforce sport comp 235/40zr18
8.75x18 +33 w/ BFGoodrich gforce sport comp 265/35zr18
Lowered on Eibach Pro Kit Springs

I have mild poke with my tires; flush at the wheel. Flush at the front with the tires; recessed a little at the wheel. I can't moved the rears in to be flush, but I can move the fronts out. Anyone with a similar setup run spacers up front? 3mm? 5mm?

I'm due for a new set of tires for the season. The tires I originally went with are MPSS 225-40-18's which looked a bit stretched. I want to get a set that fits better and in the process, fill in a bit more of the fender gap. I am lowered on Eibach ProKit so rubbing isn't much of a concern.

Does anyone have pics of these wheels maybe on 235/40 and/or have any recommendations?

I have 235/40 PSS on 18x8.75. sadly my phone camera is cracked but I love it and couldn't imagine going with stretched tires

I want the 18x8 but kinda heavy at 22.8 I believe.

I didn't intend to have stretch, I just didn't think it through when I ordered and just picked ones that I knew fit based on threads I read. I want a tire that has relatively thin sidewalls with little to no stretch -- it looks like, or there actually is, more fender gap due to the stretch. I'm guessing 235 40 will do the trick. I'd like to see a picture of these.

I don't think it looks all that bad, it's just not necessary to stretch with a modest drop.
