Chromium black looks kinda like black chrome to me.

I was going to go with the safer 18x8.75 +20, but there are ppl that are running the 9.75 all around and from what I hear it should work with fender stretching and pulling. I would hate to have constant rubbing though

Those Instagram photos are of bada$$vtec's car on here. He has the 9.75 +20 all around, but that is a custom powder coated bronze. That's not the bronze the 527's come in. He's also running a 235/35 tire with just a roll and very minor negative camber and doesn't rub.

I only have a rear camber kit, so my front is not adjustable. Will it still not rub? I noticed that most people went with the 8.75. If that is the smarter and safer route, then I will do that.

Whats the difference between 8.75 and 9.75?

lol yes I realize that. But Im not sure what that number signifies on the wheels in general. I guess its the width?
I just want to be sure 18x9.75 all around is the right decision...otherwise I will go with the 18x8.75.
If the extra inch makes no difference, I will go with the safer option

Yes, that is width.

The extra inch is the difference between slightly concave and sexy concave.

It will make a difference, but you said it yourself, many members are running that size.

Personally, I'd go 8.75".

So what I got from that is I should go with 8.75 to avoid issues, but that they will not be sexy lol

a little less sexy, but an easier fitment. All you need to do to see the difference is look up someone running a staggered set, 8.75 up front, 9.75 out back. That will be the easiest way to see the difference. For this design, a wider wheel with lower offset will have more concavity.

He has the skunk2 UCA up front, but I believe his camber is at -1. Fenders are obviously rolled for maximum clearance too.

And yes as stated before it's an inch difference in the rim width. When I buy the 527's for my winter setup I am going to do the 8.75 up front with a 215/40 tire and 9.75 rear with 225/40 tire.

The only real difference between the 8.75 and 9.75 besides the width, is how concave they are.
