Those are going to fit like the stock wheels and not fill the fender out at all. They are nice looking though. I would run some 20mm spacers or something

Those should stick out about 3/8" past where the stock ones did. They will be yield a slightly wider track. With a wider tire, it could stick out even further than the 3/8".

No NO SPACERS ........that was the plan to make em fit like stockers....... they are 1/2 inch wider......and this is how it looks on stockers......so i think it will fill out the fender well nicely.

me and you have the same suspension AFAIK and same exact car. Heres how your stocks should look from this angle. Yea they are 1/2 an inch wider but you only went -3mm on the offset from stock and that 1/2 an inch basically is 1/4 of an inch on the inside and 1/4 of an inch on the outside. I wouldnt go with +20mm spacers, but Def +10mm if you want to be flush with the fenders.

O and I just wanted to say, not hating at all. I'm actually Super jealous as I want rims very much right now. Just trying to get my finances in order to purchase a set. Your car is going to look awesome with those wheels spacers or not. If it were me, I'd go with a +10mm spacer though. But congrats on the rims and def post some pics for everyone to see when you get them on. Theres not many GG X's with wheels. I'm trying to squeeze some 19's but having a hard time finding something used.

The matt black looks great, hope to see them on soon as I was thinking Matt black for the TE37s, just not sure if it will look good in matt black.

Your new wheels will be 9.35mm further out than the stock wheels, which is 1/3 of an inch. Not very much if you ask me, thats why I said 20mm spacers

My Works are 30mm further out than the stock wheels, FYI.

Anybody thought of using spacers for the stock rims? It would bring the rims out and I think make them look alittle larger. Pictures of lowered X's look like the rims are tiny even though there 18's. Any drawbacks to using spacers?

You need at least 10mm or 15mm spacers if you want to look flush with stock wheels
