Default XXR 521 on Fbody!

well I searched and searched and people were kinda scared to get these wheels, I dont know why, so I decided to try them, they are 18x10 +25 and 18x8.5 +25
I gotta say, they fight pretty dam good! tires in the rear are 295/35/18 and 275/35/18
the wheels sit pretty flush to the fenders and I think it looks good. The car is my cousins Formula but I will be putting these on my WS6
the car has the hose mod on the rear springs, not sure on the front.. heres some pics

I like those. How much did the run you?

Also, are your rear tires mounted backwards?

All of them look backwards. Lol. Isn't the point supposed to go towards the front of the vehicle. Do they come in other finishes?

haha, yeah i just threw the tires on to test fit them since my car isnt running at the moment, they were like 620 shipped on eBay, I love eBay

and I do believe they have other finishes. silver with polished lip and black with polished lip, and a weird gold with polished lip. I got the flat black cause, idk i just liked em. Im gonna probably buy some 305's for the rear later. people were saying they would stick out about half an inch cause of the offset but nope, that wasnt a problem here.

Judging by that fourth pic it looks like the tires are definitely going to rub if the suspension is compressed. Let us know how that works out for you.

Are your fenders rolled?

Glad to see them on a F body, but looking at the pics looks like if you do lower your car a bit more you will have to roll your fenders. but overall looks good.

maybe, I dont plan on Lowering my car much, and I honestly dont think they will rub if i were to go on a bump or anything, there was a lot of room to play with, I was looking at all the gaps pretty good before i took the wheels off my cousins car.

look good, probably can't come too much lower though due to rubbing, although it'll look sick.

I think the XXR's look great. Not a huge fan of the all black, but the overall styling looks great.
