Ok guys. Here is mine.

























Specs: Lowered on H&R RACE springs, no camber kit at all. Stock struts
XXR 530 - Chromium black
front - 18x8.75 +20 with 215/40 -1.5 camber (natural camber with no camber kit)
Rear - 18x9.75 +20 with 225/40 -3.0 camber (natural camber with no camber kit)

fenders rolled all around and slight pull to keep from rubbing in rear (I have a fender roller if anyone needs fenders rolled in PA/DE/NJ and sometimes VA. I live in DE on the PA border)

JJH are you running that setup with spacers? If so can you run the same setup without spacers and still clear brembos?

Thanks everybody. I love the way it sits and now without the rubbing it is fun to drive.

sorry. 18x8.75 +35 with a 5 mm spacer up front. i believe a 225 35 18 tire

how about factory tpms. are they gonna fit these wheels?

TLDude876

iTrader: (7)

^yes factory tpms will fit

TLDude876

iTrader: (7)

Maybe I should pick up another set of these as a spare set

pohljm

they must be +33 as they are not made in a +35

there was originally only +20 and +35 when they came out (when I was trying to buy the wheels). then they redesigned the +35 to +33

Soo....as some of you may know, I bought a 6MT KBP type-s. I'll be transferring over all of my mods best I can once I have some free time, including these wheels.

Is anyone running the 18x8.75 +20 with 225/40-18 tires on ~2" drop WITHOUT rollling fenders?

I'm rolled on my current type-s, but not too sure that it was entirely necessary. I am dropped on Koni Yellow sports + HR Sport Springs. Ground to fender clearance all around was somewhere in the 25-25.5" department.

Hi,

I'm interested in putting the Chromium black XXR 530's on my 08 TL type S. I currently have Chromed stock rims. Would anyone be able to tell me exactly what modifications are necessary for the wheels to fit?
I have heard from different people that I am going to have to have my fenders rolled and possibly have my tires stretched.

Any info would be appreciated

-thanks

^^ It depends on wheel off-set. wheel size, tire size, how low you want to go.

pohljm

JJH I do not believe anyone is running the +20's and 225's that low without needing a roll. I think sockr1 is running the same setup.

sockr1

iTrader: (5)

JJH, pretty sure you will need to roll that low (2+). i had less of a drop (1.5" or so) but i had to roll all 4 because i got 235 tires (doh!)

my buddy has 18x8.75 +20 on his 08 base. im un sure of his tire size tho. his car is lowered about 2.5-3 inches. and he is not rolled... it rubs the front fenders pretty good and the rears only rub on big bumps.

rockstar143

iTrader: (6)

in my humble opinion, if you even utter the word stance or flush...the roll is something that should be embraced and come first. No way around it...you like this look, you're rolling and getting skinny tires.

515kbpUA7

here is his. 18x8.75 +20 with a 225/40/18. no roll. only pic for now

pohljm

^ and it rubs like crazy

515kbpUA7

yup the front tires are all chewed up from the fenders while turning. the rears hit the fenders when he hits bumps. a simple roll would solve majority of it

I've been on this thread for awhile now because i have 530 rims sitting in my room for 2 weeks.
pretty much waiting for my tires to come in with camber kit and lug nuts.
planning on getting ingalls rear camber kit and muteki black sr48 with locks
what do you guys think about black aluminum black valve stem on gold?

here is a sneak preview what my car would look like with the 530s on.

Rear:




Front:

yoks032rs

^^ deff going to be fender work. As rockstar143 says skinny tire.And with lots of stretch.

chinwookid

I'm grabbing 215/35 with hella stretch. im very worried of how much i would have to pull it lol

JJH

iTrader: (1)

Is that 8.75 or 9.75? Wayyyyyyy too much poke.

sockr1

iTrader: (5)

pretty sure the lock nut key for the sr48 will scratch your rims (i did a lot of research when i got my 530s). there was a whole section in this thread on which lug locks fit and which don't. your only lock options are the spline locks with very thin wall keys or the hex locks. look up posts by me and jayvee in this thread

chinwookid

those are 9.75

really? hmm maybe i should get the spline wheel lock.. I will have to google it

pohljm

Thats ridiculous! ||-|| acceptable.......... //-\\ NFW.......unless you have a body shop thats a no go.

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

buddy you remind me of my old rims....guess what happened? I ended up selling them....

they were poking wayy too much....and without a roll/pull and some body work, I dont think they would have fit....and I think the same is enroute here

chinwookid

I am planning on getting my fender rolled and pulled. i am very eager to make it work and IT WILL WORK
it may take some time, but the finish work will be amazing

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

ohh you can make it work, my point being, will it be worth it

chinwookid

if it breaks my neck and others neck, then it shall be damn worth it

swoosh

iTrader: (5)

love your attitude....looking forward to breaking my neck

pohljm

//-\\ is gonna look broken

chinwookid

i hope you are not thinking like the picture above. because THAT looks broken. lol

we will just have to see the finished product.

chinwookid

Look what just came in!

MataNalgas

Damn these xxr wheels are sick and very inexpensive

TLDude876

iTrader: (7)

The 9.75+20 will fit with just a roll. I am running 10.5 + 30 with a 235 tire. No rubbing and a little poke

chinwookid

You should grab some MataNalgas. It will be better than your stock wheels
