XXR 527

[Since885]

Ive seen a lot of post about the XXR rims. I'm looking into starting my mods. I want to purchase wheels first and wait until im further into my warranty to mod anything else. My question is the XXR 527 rims come in 18x8.75 with the offset +20 and +35. In the future most likely this winter or next spring I want to lower it. Which offset would be the best bet for a safe choice that wouldn't cause issues with lowering it a 1"? Im also trying to stay with a flush look.

Tons of info in this thread. If you lowered 1', my opinion would be that the 18x8.75 +35 would be perfect. The +20 would have way too much poke while the 35 will be perfectly flush with some camber bolts in front.

I checked that thread and that's where I saw the XXR rims. Just wasn't sure about the best offset. Thanks

Here is my set up. 18X8.75 +35 front and rear with 5mm spacer on the back to make a little more flush in the rear. Running 235/40/18 front and rear. -2 degrees of camber rear and -1.5 front. Lowered on Fortune autos approx 1-1.5 cant remember exactly. No rubbing issues at all.
