hey im looking to get a set of xxr 527 18x9.75 with a +20 offset.will these fit? what is the "largest" tires i can fit. also what should i get to achieve the stretched look. heres some info:

• BONE STOCK SUSPENSION AUTOMATIC (will these fit?)
• CONSIDERING GETTING FF TYPE 1s (any recommendation on how low)
• SUGGESTION ON SUSPENSION COMBINATION

They will fit but you will need to roll/cut your fenders to make them fit or get a camber kit. They will NOT fit without fender modification.

There is an entire thread on that rim along with pictures and details.

I believe 225 is the largest tire you can get.

thanks for the reply. even on a stock suspension they won't fit? really wow. what's the worst that would happen if i just stick them on and drive on it?

its will stick out and will look dumb in my opinion. but if you like it, then go for it. there is a thread a couple down from yours with a bunch of pictures of all the different size.

thanks. i browse through the threads and couldnt find anything that pointed me in the right direction. my suspension is stock and wonder how much it will stick out. if you could, lemme some pics of people running the same set up as i am. thanks that would be lots of help.

Dont think that there is anyone running this setup on stock suspension. Here is a link to the xxr 527 link.

@tldude876, thanks i paged through them all and couldnt find any help. but you think i can pull it off with 215/45/18? im planning to get these wheels and run on stock suspension for awhile??

it'll work just fine but will look like the wheels are sticking out

why not 225/40?

dREaM'n TL

im curious on how much they will stick out? inches? reason im gettin 215 instead of 225 is because they're used and he wants 600. is that a deal? with tires but the tires aren't the greatest. sidewall damage from rubbing. can some find me a pic so i can get a visual on how they will look. feels like my searching isnt going anywhere. thanks. also what you guys think Deep Green Pearl TL with gold xxr 527??

Is your car stock? I think it will have to be modded to pull off the gold. Def needs to be lowered

$600 is a good price given the wheels are in ok condition

225/40 would be my choice
I had 18x9.5 +22 (Similar specs to urs)
215/45 is tooooo much..
I was lowered till about no wheel gap
NO fender rolling, about neg 1 camber all around
and I didnt rub, UNLESS I hit a big bump during a turn.
and the FF will be fine

what if i was to get 17x9.75 on the stock automatic suspension? what will i encounter.. help me please

The issue here isn't really if they will fit, because they will fit if you're on stock suspension. The issue is that it will look retarded with that width and offset without a drop. Also, if you're not going to slam your car, there is absolutely no reason to have 215/45's on a 9.75 wheel.

If you're not dropping your car now, but still want to change your wheels, the smart thing to do is go a little conservative. Maybe 18x8 or 8.5 with an offset ranging from 40 to 35. You won't have to worry about rubbing issues, and your car won't look retarded with all that poke. And get the correct tire size!

his wheels are gonna be 8mm more out than your so that's enough to cause some rubbing.

+1 on this. Don't get wheels just to get wheels. That is gonna look BEYOND stupid on the car, gonna make the car UGLY and then you are doing it wrong because I am sure you don't mod the car to be ugly do you?

If you wanna stay conservative, and at a stock height, get 18x8.75 +20. If you are gonna lower the car, then do that before you get the wheels, then you will get a better idea how wide or big or what offset of wheels you wanna get depending on the height you choose for the car.

^ word dont get such wide rims with low offsets on stock suspension... even if you plan on lowering your car you will have lots of rubbing issues that rim is just too wide for the front of a TL try a more conservative look and fitment
