Clear? Dude, these things don't even come CLOSE to the Brembos!

I am going to measure the distance from the center of the hubcap to the top of the fenderwell with the OEs, put the XXRs on, then compress the arm to rest equidistant equal to the former; this should give us a spot-on comparison, at least as close as we can get without the tires.

Plus I can see how the McGards look on there as well

I'm not 100% on getting them PC'ed anymore. Things are running a bit overbudget and I'm almost thinking the silver would be a nice POP to the B/W theme

Wow...that is some stretch!
PS, I don't think you'll have a problem DM. Can't wait to see them on.

Make up your mind about the PC before having your tires mounted!

I am going to do the adjusted fit test and try to PS the finish and do a comparison. I know, I gotta make up my mind asap!

If you hadn't commited to your theme so intensely...I would say maybe not. BUT, your lights, your tails, your exhaust tips. PC will complete it.

Do work, son.

well i will be the first to post these on a TL i guess
18x8.75 +20 with 225/40/18

before pics with stern st1's 18x8 +48 with 15mm spacers.



now xxr 527


now i dont know where to go from here, leave them as is with fenders rolled or camber in and go a bit lower, it is a daily driver.
i also run summer tires so i dont really want a alignment or have to raise it everytime winter and summer hits.

So the rear looks perfect, can you go any lower in the front? I am still undecided on the offset I want for the front.

Yea I could go lower Nd I'm gonna try tomorrow after work. Anyone know if you can use a spring compressor while the shock is on to chance pirchs on the mini shocks? I really don't want to disassemble the whole shock?

I'm thinking the 225's are perfect for these...nicely done!
Sitting pretty! I think cambering in and a roll will give the clearance needed for a little more drop if you wanted.

Rock what you got...costs too much money to ship/sell etc. Enjoy them!
At least you know there is always a cost effective wheel option in XXR for the future!

yea that's what I was thinking too. These are not in Canada yet so I would have to wait for a trusted Canadian distributor to get these first. I would not pay to have these shipped to me from US. It would be an extra 100$ a wheel haha
