You're gnna have to run a 25mm spacer up front, if you go with the 18x10 521's.. That's what I had to do to clear the brembos.

Which offset 18x10 did you do?

And did you need to do any fender pulling or rolling in front or rear at all?

On the 522's do you need hub centric spacers? Where do i get these spacers if so?

I have the XXR 527 18x9.75 which I powder coated black metallic (prismatic powders). Looks frickin SICK!!! Super aggressive look which I love! However, the tires I got rub in the front wheel well only when I turn hard. I have 245/45ZR/18 Hankooks. I know I need to get different tires, but don't know if I need to go 235 or 40. Anyone know?

PS-I rolled the rear fenders, but ended up realizing that I probably didn't need to with my GTWorx springs (because it's a higher ride height than most other springs out there). It's a good thing I rolled them though because I'm considering getting coilovers in the future. Do it as a precaution.

Xxr 527

I have XXR 527's in 18x9.75, slightly rub in front on sharp turns and quite a bit of rubbing in the back with no rolling of the fenders. I can post pictures later when I get home from work.

Hey can you tell me if you had to use any spacers to clear the calipers in the front?

XXR521 18X10 25mm spacer on the fron no spacer on the back. Lots of camber (~4 in the front). Deep dish look. Loved the wa this car looked. Fenders rolled.

Bringing back this old thread. I'm about to order 18x8.5 +25 xxr 521 wheels for my evo 8. What would be the ideal tire size for this wheel size? I'm on bilstein coilovers with stock evo 8 wheels. With this will size it was mentioned that I would not need to roll or pull my fenders as well as no spacers needed. It will also not rub.

8.5" parameters are approx 225-255

Running a 255 tire, expect a roll & pull of the rear fender. +25 is very aggressive, however the 8.5" helps vs running a 9.5" wheel

Fronts will be OK but expect liner rub at lock positions, dependent also on ride height

Thanks.....I was thinking 245/40 would be okay or 235/45. I have about 1.5 inch gap all around with my stock 8 wheels with 235/45. They're tucked in so even slammed, I dont rub at all.
