Some info you might need:
-23.5in fender to ground
-Rolled and pulled fenders
-Bumper tabs relocated

After searching for 3 days now, I'm stumped.
On the XXR 527s does lower offset provide more of a concaved wheel?
Or does the width of the wheel provide more of a concaved wheel?

On a different forum someone said that having lower offset on the 527's provides a more concaved wheel.
On another forum someone said they having a wider wheel on teh 527's provides a more concaved wheel NOT a lower offset.

I plan to order 527's this Friday, I want the most concaved wheel I can have.
I cant decide what determines it.. Anyone have a clue?

I have 17x7.5 +28 wheels now. With 205/50/17 attached as rubber.
These tires still have 90% tread left. Originally I was going to purchase the 527's with the specs of 17x8.25 +25 and have a nice stretch with the tires I already have. But after looking deeper I don't know what specs to get now. Someone help me out please.

For the most concaved look should I buy:

1.) 17x8.25 +25 Meaning I can use the tires I have now.
2.) 18x8.75 +20 (would I rub with 18's?) Meaning i'd have to buy new tires.
3.) 17/18x9.75 +20 (Could I go that wide without issues?) Meaning i'd have to buy new tires.

I want the most concaved wheel that would fit and i'd like to keep my tires I have now if possible. If not I can stop being a puss and buy new rubber.

no to be that guy... but i am haha! I think those wheels are getting a little over played. Why not look into another style?

btw my wheels are 17x8.5+15 with a 205/40 tire and its perfect with just a fender roll. You would have an easy time with fitment minus the 9.75 wides
