Looking to get some XXR 527's on 18X8.75 +20mm.

I was looking at 18X9 or 9.5. Would a quarter inch make a HUGE diff?
My current tire size will be 255/35/18.

Thanks in advanced guys

Didn't know wheel size change in 1/4 inch!!!

What is your main concerns with sizing?

Just making sure it's not too small for the tires I have bought.

And main main question, was spacers. Are they required?

Can you explain to me a little better why?

Aren't the stock wheels 17x8?

I've seen a couple of old for sale threads on an 18x8.75 wheel. Doesn't look bad IMO.

255 will fit on 8 inch through 9.5 inch wheels just fine. You have alittle more room to play with as far as offset with a smaller wheel, so with 8.5 inch width, you can certainly run +20s with little clearance issue. With a wider wheel, you have to consider inboard and outboard clearance. I've typically advised friends to stay in the higher +20s to mid 30s offset. You'll also have to consider spacers in the front wheels for higher offsets also. Some of my experience for consideration:

17x9.5 +24 Advan TC-II - Front fritment is perfect, with tons of caliper clearance. Rear needed to be rolled.

17/18 x 9.5 +38 RPF1 - On 255 tires, Front requires 20mm spacers, and -2 degrees of camber. Rear is perfect. On 285, rear requires rolling, and 5mm spacer for inboard clearance, or it will run the lower control arm.

18x8.5 +38 - OEM Evo X size, perfect in every way on 255.

17x9 +27 Team Dynamics - Roll rears
