Evo 8 xxr 527

Hey guys im looking to get some XXR 527s and im not sure what size to get. Im on stock suspension with GTWorx springs the choices are 17x8.25 with an offset of 25 or 35 or theres 17x9.75 with the offsets of 25 or 35. I do plan on taking the car to the track so i dont want it to rub or perform poorly. Thanks for the input in advanced and i tried searching and came up with nothing

Got pics? I wanna get these 18x9.75 +20 for my evo 8. What size tires are you running as well? How much rolling of the rears was needed. Thanks for the help

fixed for you. if your going to track your car, invest is wheels that arent junk. i doubt you searched otherwise you woulda seen the threads of the poor quality, no QC, and them breaking.

but hey, its your car. gl bro

You can get the right lugs from any autoparts store, tire/rim dealer or just order some blox or muteki lugs (should be M12x1.5 pitch) from a vendor on these forums.

they would need a tiny tire and lots of rolling. not worth it.

for these wheels i would stay away from the blox lug nuts they are too wide and you cant tighten them down good enough. get the Muteki SR48 lug nuts theyre a perfect fit.

im running 17x8.25 +25 all around and 255-45-17's, I'm dropped on s-techs and only rub when i take turns real aggressive. need to get my fenders rolled.
