So heres the deal, I saw many times recently the XXR wheels on the forum.
I went on their site and saw their 962 and I could have them for a pretty decent price on ebay.

Did anybody had problems with them?

I just don't know if I should go with a staggered fitment even on a fwd... I already have the tires wich are 225/45r17 :

The wheels are available in 17x7 and 17x9
Would the tire fit or should I find some 17x8
In the same time what do you think of the wheel, I have a black coupe? They are also available in silver

You could run staggered, but it depends on the look you're going for. With the staggered set up (17x7 Front and 17x9 rear) you'll have a easier time doing full lock turns. But then again, with the 17x7 up front, you'll probably look hella sunk and the rear will be flush. But that is easily fixed with some 15-20mm spacers.

Also, the paint quality on the sportmax wheels aren't the greatest either...

Wouldn't I need to roll my fender for that to fit? With the spacers in the front for exemple or even the with 17x9
I'm planning a 2" drop

if you're only dropping 2 inches, I wouldn't go with a 17x9. it would look weird. Go with a 17x7

I had de F2 type one or two in mind, it'll depend of my budget... I would get springs only but I would have to change the shocks anyway... I just don't know how it would look with 17x9 all around... I might try it
