I plan to do a very similar set up except with 527's, also 18x8.75+35 with a Eibach Pro Kit 1 in drop. Do you think there is room to fit a 225/45/18 tire without rub issues? Thanks !!!

Looks nice, but that stretch looks dangerous.

That would be the typical "Hellaflush" look. Too much wheel, not enough tire, and too much camber.

But hey.. it's all about personal taste.. some people think it looks awesome and if they do.. super.. I'm all for personalization.. and i don't have to like what everyone else likes.


I've got a set on order myself.. 18x8.75 +35.. I'll run 225 tires on them and use some OEM camber bolts. That's enough for me.. but he might think it looks boring and ugly.. it's cool...

My buddy ran his Miata hellaflush for a while. He's from NorCal (where the craze started).


One day while driving though SF, this happened:


He hasn't gone back to hellaflush since.

Anyway, I really like the look of these XXR 527 on our cars. Chromium black and matte bronze are both awesome colors. Just wish they came with options closer to OEM+ specs then I'd be all over them.

I don't understand how the tire doesn't destroy the fender on every pothole .... Or does it just camber in enough to clear the fender?
