as for the people running 527xxr's, would there be any rubbing issues if I'm lowered on GTWORX springs with 18x8.75 +20 on 245/40/18 tires (section width of 9.8")? it seems like it'll stick out another 18mm (.7").

Totally preference. I run a stock tire size because i don't like super low profile tires (already feel enough road imperfections being so low) and I love a stretched tire look.
Some folks can't stand stretched tires so they go 275/285 and run a lower profile like 30 or 35. I can only speak from personal experience about rubbing that running the stock tire size on the 18x9.75 +22 xxr 527 will cause no rubbing at all.

I run the exact same setup (wheel type and tire specs) but with the 9.75 wheels and do not rub and i'm dropped pretty low on my KW's. Hope that helps.

Anyone checked out the new 552 style? They aren't available yet but you can google them. I really like the idea of them but don't know if they will look as good as I think they will. Just curious what everyone else thinks...

So I had a question .

With the 18x9.75 xxr 527's on coilovers would you be willing to run 25mm spacers all around with no issues other than maybe rolling rear fenders.

cool, thanks!

I'm debating in either getting these (18x8.75 +20) or the O.Z. Ultraleggera (18x9 +35).

Does anyone know the weight of the 18x8.75 +20 xxr527?

The 18x9.75 are 21.6lbs (when I got to the distributor I bought them from we took them out of the box and put them on a scale they had) . So probably a half lb lighter for the 8.75, maybe a full lb.

Yikes. That's a full inch. Would definitely need to roll, possibly even pull fenders with that much extra poke.

Just to confirm: No rubbing lowered on GTWORX springs?
Do not need to roll the rears?
