New rims XXR 527's

[ace.k]

Hey putting on a set tomorrow in the 18x8.75 +35.

Was wondering what tyres i should run as in size with my 06 Spec b.

Running stock suspension(billies i think)

Any help would be grateful. =)

Do you have plans to lower it?

They will look pretty silly at stock height.

I would personally go 225/40 but that's just me.

Could go 235 if you wanted less stretch, but it will probably scrub more.

Get a tape measure and measure 42mm from your current wheens to see how they'll fit

Yeah I will eventually lower it. Might give the 225s ago.

235s will rub heaps.

225's will rub heaps also, and what Zach said, they look ridiculous at stock height

Had to go with 215 35 r18

I dunno about the stretch though kind of paranoid if i stuff it up or if something goes wrong lol.

Might end up selling em.

They look great.
My rims are similar spec and 225 40s are fine with coilovers with camber adjustment and rear guards rolled upwards and the plastic arch trims trimmed.

The downsides with the current tyre spec will be comfort (from the low profile) and exposing the rims to damage (due to the stretch).

Get better sized tyres and some susp modes and you'll be set!

Thanx man, well theyre coming off today lol. Gonna prob look for a set of STI's or something similar (Rota Gravels) try pick up something second hand be a bit cheaper. Decided i want the wheels in the guard haha. Defiantly going for coilovers next need them rear shocks are finished lol so yeah thats next on the list and a few exterior mods.

Ill be posting it up on the sell thread later on so yeah.

See these are exactly what I want!! but coilovers have to come first stock height with them is blah

If only you were in melb couldve grab em off me =p

How'd they feel to drive on?

I just ordered 18x8.5 gravels after nearly getting a set of 527s. I bought Nitto Invo 235 40s for them so fitment should be interesting since the cars getting dropped about 25-30mm on stechs :S

[zch91]

Roll your guards, little bit of camber up front and you'll be set

[ace.k]

They're not bad to drive on but because the rim is so exposed I have to drive carefully which im not used to. Like to take turns pretty quick lol just the way I drive.

curious, did you decide to keep them, or are they for sale/sold already?
