Why would anyone steal xxr's? As for fitment you should search and see what other people are running to give you an idea

thats exactly what i thought ! why would anyone steal wheels worth 400$ or less :/ but it happened

and i did some search on the forum but i didnt get my answer because everyone is running wider rim 9.5 + and some of them said they are using spacers

i want to go 8.75

Ouch, and they set the side skirt on the brick. They could've at least used the pinch weld lol. I wanna say the 527's fit. I believe there is a thread in this section somewhere. Found it for ya..

so i found out for 100% that xxr 521 18x8.5 +25mm offet will FIT evos 8/9 without any spacers and will clear front brembo brakes

xxr 521 18x10 +25mm offset will FIT only rear without any spacers

now 18x8.5 comes only in 1.75" lip size witch is not aggresive
18x10 comes in 3.5 " lip size witch looks much better

so i dont know if i should go 18x8.5 +25 1.75 lip in the front
and 18x10 +25 3.5 lip size in the rear ?????

and use the same tires on all 4 of them lets say 235/40/18

whould that look retarded ?? or good ??

does anyone use this setup and have pics ??
