thoughts?? I think it's a bit too flashy for me, but curious to what others think.

Nasty. Blue and green aren't exactly complimentary colors.

New to the car game so sorry if these questions i ask are kinda dumb. I wanted to get a set of xxr 527's but just wondering the difference between the 18x9.75+20 offset compared to the 18x8.25+35 set up. I'm looking to drop the car on lowering springs for now. I understand the 18x9.75+20 set up will require stretching the tires but this is sort of what i am looking for. Just wanna know the pros and cons i guess.

Front will poke out over an inch up front and about an inch in the rear. Really depends on your springs, but thats basing things off eibach sportlines. If that's what you want then cool, but if not the 18x8.75 +35 will sit about flush in the rear and minor poke up front that can be fixed to sit flush with a set of camber bolts or crash bolts.

These are so sick. Quick question about these. I know they have not been released yet but assuming I were to purchase these with 18x9 et 20 with say 225/40/18 or the same specs with the 35 offset... Would I have any rubbing issues while being lowered on eibach sportlines (1.25-1.5 drop)? I spent the past 3 years rubbing on my EVO and I don't want to go back to that. Thanks for the help

Just to mention it, 225 tires will strech alot on 9" wheels.
The 35 offset will be about flushish (sticking out around 5mm in the front), the 20 offset will stick out about 15-20mm. Not sure if the +20 will rub (Probably not if you use 225 tires) , but the +35 will work fine (however I'd recommend 245/35/18 tires for that setup, unless you want the streched look)

Went to the Tire Kingdom that has been doing wheels, tires, and lifts on my last few trucks. They kind of disappointed me yesterday. First they said they can only get 1 tire in that size which is the Michelin Pilot Sport A/S 3, which is not a big deal but living in a place that doesn't get below 35*F/2*C all year I was really hoping for a Summer tire. Then they told me their vendor can only get me that wheel in Chronium Black, and after seeing Killerbees experience I refuse to get them. So out of loyalty to the shop im giving him a few days to see if he can get me Flat black before I just save myself $200 by ordering them myself.

Either way, I should have everything on the way within the next week. 18x8.75 +35 527's and 245/35 Pilot Sport A/S 3's.

Thanks for the reply. I do like a stretched look a bit. I had a pair of 530's with 18x8.75 +20 with 225/40/18 tires and they were perfect for my taste. Maybe meet in the middle with 235 tires? I want the same look without the rubbing haha. If the +35 are flush that would be perfect. I don't want them to stick out but I really do not want to have to add spacers if they are hiding inside the wheel well. Thanks again.

So say i wanted to go with a stretched kind of look. what tires would you recommend? would 245's work well? i also want to prevent rubbing and keep it to a minimal.

It was nearly impossible to match the chromium black, if you had gold or black wheels it would be much easier.

Whats the color you used to paint your center caps?

It's part of the DupliColor colormatch line, it's called charcoal grey metallic.

I looked through the auto paint section and compared with a picture on my phone and came up with that one. There might be better matches out there.
