XXR 969s vs. XXR 527s Advice Needed.

Hey guys.. i am for certain these wheels would fit if i had got the 969's in
XXR 969 18x8.75 [+20mm]

Right...?

But, if i went wider to a XXR 969 18x10.25 [+20mm] would these fit? Would i need spacers? Roll the fenders? Any advice would help very much. I'm decided between these wheels and the 527's wheels but i see SOOOO many evos with the 527's on and their specs are XXR 527 18x9.75 [+20mm] and the wheels sits perfect without a fender roll on stock suspension.

But i was curious if i went from the 18x9.75 to a 18x10.25 would their be any grinding issues? Would i need spacers? Would i need fender rolls? I am new to the entire rims scene but i am learning as i go. I believe the numbers after the size of the rim is th width of the rims... correct? I'm just dont certain if the 10.25 would fit.

Can i keep my stock tires on th 527's [+20mm] setup?

Thanks.

Yes your stock tires will fit on a 9.75 inch wheel. There will be a slight stretch but it should be a problem. While a wheels as wide as 10.25, you're more than likely going to have to roll the fenders.

I can confirm that 18x9.75 et20 clears the rotors and you wont need any spacers. Stock tires will stretch to fit and you wont need to roll rear fenders until you get wider tires like 275/40.
