Thanks for the help. Got the wheels on. Looks great! Now I'll install the Pro Kit on Friday. Thanks again.

From what I've seen 18x8.75 +35 is flush in the rear. If you go to +20 they're going to stick out a good amount. +35 up front will poke out about 5mm, and +20 rear will poke out a lot more. You can see in the picture below.

If you want flush, then +35 in the rear is the way to go. The only problem with that is the rear will be flush, but the front will poke about 5mm. I know someone who has put a 5mm spacer in the rear just so the poke in the front and rear look similar.

Personally, I hate poke. I've decided to go with a 18x7.5 +38 for the front which is very flush from the pictures I've seen. For the rear I'm going with 18.8.75 +33 so that I'll have the same flushness both front and rear without any spacers. In order to avoid poke I needed to get a staggered setup, which I actually don't mind. I've found pictures of XXR 530's staggered and they look pretty good.

Here's a picture of 18x8.75 +35 in the rear. You can see how it's flush.


Here's a pic of 18x8.75 +20 in the rear. Tons of poke.

I thought about doing that, but figured it would be overkill on the bronze. I like the black and blue theme on the car with the bronze wheels looking good by themselves

Oh, don't get me wrong, it's BOMB as-is.

Got mine all installed, along with Tein S-Tech springs, these were right after I took it off jack stands so it has since settled a little bit more. Alignment done, and running -2.2 rear and -1 up front with camber bolts.
Wheels are 18x8.75 +35 wrapped in Kumho Ecsta SPT's 235/40/18.
