Here is my setup

Sport Bronze 527 18x8.75 +35 squared, wrapped with 245/40/18. Currently sitting on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs. However, I think the car sits kinda tall so I'll be swapping the springs out for the Eibach Sportlines.

Looks clean to me...but I agree I wish I had another 1/4" drop on my prokit, while sometimes I think it's perfect as is. I may end up with coilovers next spring and set it exactly where I want instead of being stuck with the height of a spring.

I'm in the exact same boat man, sometimes I'll look at my car and think "wow its perfect!" Other times I'm like, "aw it's too high I fell like I'm going to tip over!"

But then I'll scrape by front lip or rear diffuser and change my mind on going lower. Last week I scraped both in the same day. Living in the northeast and having to deal with snow, pro kit may be a good height for me.

What do you guys think about going with the XXr 527 17x9 +35 lowered on eibach pro lowering springs (1inch). Any clue on whether or not there will be rubbing, or any other issues? thanks in advance.

Here's another picture taken about two and a half weeks after the install.

Matte Bronze XXR 527 18x8.75 +35 245/40/18 on Eibach Pro-Kit Springs



I'll post another pic as soon as I get the Sportlines installed!

Got four XXR527 for winter tires.

Chrome Black .
17x8.25;
+25 .
5X100/5X114

Made four STi center caps. Hope Sti will bring me good luck during snow days.

Tires are Michelin X-Ice Xi3 225/45R17.

These wheels will clear my Brembo BBK.

Complete wheel/tire noon here.

I'm looking to purchase matte bronze 17" xxr 527. What offset /size would be closest to flush or slightly closer to to stock without having to lower or making any other adjustments?

I don't want the wheels to poke out.

Also, these would be placed on stock tires. Is that safe? I don't want any harm to the tires.
