this guy is going back to stock and he is selling the rims and tires. I love the meaty look of these, and he said he is only on megan lowering springs. But I have searched and searched through the 90 page thread about these wheels, but I cant figure out what info I need. So will this set up cause any damage or rub issues? I know nothing about tire size and how that all works. The tire size he said are 225/40/18 So what do you guys think about these?

Well first thing is that he is lying about wheel, tire, and spring price.

Megan springs are about $130 on ebay new

And those XXR rims are about $600 new for 4 in that size from tirecrazy.com. Maybe $50 or so more if I am wrong.

So unless he paid $2200 for those tires and some installation, which would grossly over inflated since 4 of those tires new on Ebay is less $300, he is a scammer.

Most people get those rims in 17x8.25 et+35 or 18x8.75 et+35 with tires up to 245 wide with no rubbing issues with lowering springs.

yeah he said I could get all tires and rims for 700. But when I asked about damage, he said 2 have some curb rash and sent a picture. So I am going to offer like 550 if this is even a decent and worth while set up.

Lots of people like them as you can see in the XXR wheel thread. I plan to get a set myself. I just think 9.75 is a bit too wide for stock fenders, and the fact that he is saying they are worth 3k with tires and springs in the car for sale ad is shady.

You should have closed the page when you read this:

I paid $650 shipped for my XXR 527s (same wheels as he has) @ 18x8.75. There's no way he paid over $2000, cheap wheels, cheap tires, cheap springs. I'm guessing the trio cost him <= $1400.

Those wheels are way too wide. Mexipoke FTL

SkAsphalt · 07-07-2014, 06:53 PM

My god... monster truck stance. So much poke

pcporo · 07-07-2014, 07:01 PM

Ive seen this car in person a few times and it definitely pokes quite a bit.

pcporo · 07-07-2014, 09:18 PM

definitely not my style, i mean he liked it but i'd prefer not so wide

ZionsWrath · 07-07-2014, 09:47 PM

My opinion is they don't fit.
