XXR 530 on TL Type S
I've spent several hours looking through the various XXR530 threads and I'm still not sure exactly what setup will get me what I want. Can some people please just share their experience of getting the 18.75 XXR 530 wheels to fit over the Brembo calipers without requiring fender rolling and maximizing tire width?
I would like to run at least a 235 width tire and preferably 245. Right now I'm at stock height and I am considering the H&R street sport coilovers.

Either +20 offset and stretched tires. Or +33 offset with spacers to fit brembos with a slightly bigger tire. The most common seems to be the +20 offset with 225 tires. I test fit my xxrs a few days ago, looks funky at stock height.

Go +20 with 225 tires it will give you the least headaches. I've been through the following setups, all with all 4 fenders rolled:
+20 with 235/40, stock height - poke and looks pretty bad
+20 with 235/40, h&r sport springs - wheel gap and rubbed up front on large highway dips
+20 with 235/40, dropped about 1.5 on tein ss - wheel gap and rubbed up front on large highway dips
+20 with 225/40, dropped about 1.5 but about to drop it to 2 - wheel gap going away and no rubbing now!
Even though I rubbed with 235/40 tires, there are other members that didn't with h&r springs. Each car varies. Safest bet is to go +20 with 225, I don't think it's worth it to go spacers.
Here is 235/40 with +20 at stock height. It looks pretty bad and there is poke.

ok thanks for the advice guys. I guess I have some thinking to do. I really want more traction so I'll have to figure out if 225 summers will still hook up better than the 235 michelin all seasons.
