Xxr-521 help!

Hey everybody!

So im planning on ordering XXR-521's this week but im not sure what the best with fitment and wheel size would be....

i plan on slamming it in about a month with coilovers, but i want the most aggressive look without having to roll fenders.

and i plan on adding some camber in the back too.

will the 18x10 fit my car without having to roll fenders?

what do you think about the flat gunmetal with blue rivets?

please help!

here's my TL <3

What offset? More than likely you'll have to roll your fenders with 10" wide wheel

no you can't mount 18x10 on this car without modifying fenders. Especially on the front. Someone already asked this question and there is a discussion going on about this. Please search

most aggressive fitment without rolling fenders and stretching tires would be around 18x9 +30 to +35

I had 18x9.5 +22, no fender mods but with stretched 225/40 tires

This makes me feel safe, cause I only have 19x8.5 going on a 235 tire +38 offset, but I am going to run 15mm spacers all around, bringing it down to +23 and lowering the car about 2 inches with non-rolled fenders, so I shouldn't rub.

Why is everyone so against rolling fenders? You don't endanger the structural integrity or anything, you're just folding the metal a little more.

If you want anything flush or aggressive, you'll have to roll. Just spend the cash and do it right the first time instead of working around the problem

I'm not scared to roll my fenders, I've done it before on my Subaru. I just don't feel like going through the hassle of doing that again and looking for a place with a fender roller because I don't know anyone that has one personally. I'm just lazy and want a nice look without the hassle, lol.

yea except you will rub in the back with that setup. I had 19x8.5 +45 with 20mm spacer in the back and 235 tires and I rubbed when I had people in the car. I was 1.5" lowered by spring specs, but after 3 years on them, I think they settled down more than that.

Aww, nuts. Guess I'll be renting a fender roller then when the time comes.
