XXR 527/530 Gallery

Had the bronze color, but after they started flaking everywhere, I sanded them down and painted them semi gloss black to go with the black and blue theme I have going. Still love these wheels!

Hey anyone that has 18x8.75 +33's running 255/35/18's? I picked up some 530's in chromium black and want to make sure the tires will fit. I checked the wheel calculator and it looks like they should fit according to that but poke a bit. Wanted to see actual pics and verification of fit though. I plan to get them installed on Wednesday. I'm either going to go with 245/35/18 or 255/35/18's, I want the widest possible since I plan to go FI soon. Thanks!

Alright so I ordered the XXR 530's 18x8.75 +33 and the company I ordered from is telling me ill have rubbing issues. I'm on stock suspension now but will be putting RCE Yellows on in a few months. Anyone with stock suspension running this size and offset have issues?


Ill be running 235/40/18 tires by the way (the company I ordered from doesn't know that but they still say Ill have rubbing.)

No, you won't rub, not even close...

Well damnit, that's what I though. I guess companies have to cover their asses just in case.

+20 offset just means your tires will stick out of the fender more than what you may like. There are pics of cars with +20 offset if you google them and you will see. As far as tire size there are a couple of options that all work. What tire size are you looking to get?

[iamtwalkem]

more than likely a 235/40 or a 245/35 tire. would i need to get new LCA or toe arms to help with rubbing or anything?

You bought the wrong offset. That is a aggressive offset.
You are going to poke a lot. A LOT. You need lca and run minimum 4-5 degrees of camber, probably more. And camber plates and two camber bolts up front. And 235/245's wont fit unless you run 6++ degrees of camber which can be hard to get in the front.
225 or 215 are the tires you will need. I would suggest 215 if you are going very low.
*Edit 225's fit with slight rubbing. http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=39218
You will definitely need to roll your fenders quite a bit too.

If you can get it to fit with a good amount of camber, it will look good.

^^ this is what i was looking to hear i only bought them cause a buddy of mine sold them to me for 300 dollars. nothing wrong with them. so a 215 or a 225. cool. now im looking at spc LCA and the tien coilovers. i was thinking about rolling my fenders as well. looks like i have quite a bit of work to do before i can put these bad boys on.

spc probably wont have enough adjustment.
and tien basis doesnt come with camber plates.
good luck lol.
