I sold my old rims they where chrome and ugly I know our beautiful 6thgens deserve more. So Im currenty droped 2.25 all around on springs that I bought from ebay (I know bad Decision) but It was before I joined the sight and learned alot more about being flush or semi flush. I dont plan on paying for coilovers and paying again for and istallation. So with that being said Im looking to buy some xxr's 522 but I havent decided on what size to get. Im debating to get either 18x9.5 or 18x8.5 i dont know what offset I would have to get to make the rims fit I will roll fenders if I have! Please guys help me out before I make another bad decision. Any suggestion as far as wheel size and offset will help. Thanks you and I apologize if I look stupid for asking I did do my homework at least and go through all 32 pages of post.

Well, you'll need to do more hw then.

With those kind of specs, you'll need to be running on coilovers (no, not ebay ones) for it to look good. And fender rolling will be required.

But if you insist on running those ebay springs, go with 17x8 with some beefy tires like 215/50 to help fill the fender gaps.

Yeah, by looking at the rivet pattern I had a feeling they weren't XXR's.

Any full car pics, btw?

Looking at getting Konig Feathers 17x7" +40mm offset with a 73.1 mm bore size. They're going to be wrapped in 215/45/17s. I'm looking on both fit and aesthetic opinions. Not going crazy, lowering car 2.5-3" and want some flushness. I figure they should fit fine but want to know about possible recommended spacers sizes and if the bore difference is too much. I already have 73.1 to 64.1 hubcentric rings picked out if I get these wheels. Here's a rough look of them on my would be black sedan.

Where I would get them: http://www.discounttiredirect.com/direct/findWheelDetail.do?pc=75301&wd=17&rw=7

And where I got the stat info on them not on the other site: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/KNG-75301/

Bump and in keeping with the charcoal/black rim style, any other suggestions of wider 17s?
