this picture put me off a bit !
there are different version of chromium black out there. Since XXR is not able to make everytime the same kind of chromium black, some are quiet dark, some are rather "chromish"

I had the joy in getting a set that contained both, maybe you want to have a look at my thread about this

I've exchanged them in the end into flat black ones

has anyone had success fitting 18x8.75 front and 18x9.75 rear?
does the 9.75 only come in +20? or is there also a +35?

It rubs.. Try to get 225 in the rear and 205 in front. Might get less rub. I'm running 245 and 225

Yes, I just finished reading all 35 pages of this thread. As I continue to re-think the wheel game, I remembered this thread and started reading up on it. I'm really digging the multi-spoke look for this car...and the 527s in chromium black for the "Red & almost black look" I envision are most likely the way I'll go. I think this will be an excellent Christmas present for myself! @JoeBoxer I'll be sure to contact you when I'm ready.

Quite a few guys including myself running Muteki SR48 lug nuts.

Will require slim tuner style nuts on these wheels.

XXR 527

I'm not sure if this has been covered yet but I'm thinking about getting XXR 527's in 17X9.75 because I don't really want 18's.

Does anybody know if the 17X9.75 with 235/40/17 tires will fit on the frs without rubbing and having to add camber?
I want a car that can be somewhat trackable and I won't destroy my diff going over a manhole cover on the road lol.

I don't have anything against slammed cars I just don't want to deal with rubbing and not being able to drive my car daily on the flooded Florida roads

I've been contemplating this set-up for weeks (I'm constantly comparing wheels, haha.)
I want to stick was 17s and have 245 Star Specs from my Evo I could use. It's tempting and would be fairly inexpensive compared to other set-ups I'm looking at, but I'm still unsure about doing the 9.75s over 8.25s.
