Wheel Directory: XXR 530 18x8.75 +33




Wheels: XXR 530
Size: 18x8.75
Offset: 33mm
Colour: Flat Black

Tyres: Continental ExtremeContact DW
Size: 235/40/18

Springs: Eibach Pro Kit









On a scale of 1-10, my like factor is about 7.

There's too much poke up front

My biggest dislike is the fact that virtually every other white 86 in my area has black rims

Fitment looks good, get some camber bolts to dial in a little negative up front and it will help with the poke.

I have a white car also and don't care for black wheels at all, they seem popular but i just don't get it. You can always paint or powdercoat them a different color because the wheels and fitment do look good.

I'm glad i'm not the only one. This forum has a huge hard on for black wheels, no matter what the exterior color is lol.

Not knocking your car OP, it looks nice, just something i've picked up on while browsing. Every new wheel that pops up is always black.

I keep greeting advised not to go for camber because of the premature tyre wear, but looks like it's what I'll have to do to reduce the poke (save for buying new wheels!)

Can you recommend a good camber bolt? Also, judging by the pic above, how much negative camber will be needed?

I just used the OEM subaru "crash" bolt but Whiteline and i think SPC make some too. I'd max it out with the crash bolt and hopefully get around -1.0. Anything is better than the 0 camber we get from the factory.

get the subaru one.

camber will increase your tire wear but not as much as toe that is out of spec

Add some camber, you'll be much happier with the look. Tire wear will be marginally affected, just make SURE you get an alignment to fix the toe.

The 2nd picture posted is the front poke? Or rear poke?
If that's the front...how does the rear compare? Is there any poke back there?
