As the title says, I'm semi-interested in new rims. I've narrowed it down to Rota G Force 18x8.5 +48 or XXR 530 18.7.5 +35. Will the latter fit on my car with a stock Spec B suspension set up? At the moment I'm leaning towards the XXRs because the width is much more friendly to run the OEM 215/45 rubber (which has 90%+ tread left).

Here's a pic of the XXRs for all those photo whores

yes. it will fit with no problems at all.

pretty mice looking wheels too.

Yes they will.

You'll need some negative camber to put the wheels inside the arch at the top and if you ever planned on lowering it you'll need the rears rolled.

Mark, am I correct in assuming my current front camber settings are around -1? And how much would I need to adjust this so the wheel sits flush with the guard?

IIRC??, you can get -1.25 degrees out of the oem front camber adjustment.

May be enough. No issues at stock height though. When lowered, you'll angle more inwards also.

I have 7.5" +42, lowered nicely and needed negative camber to sit the tyres inside the guard at the top. Done by eye, not aligned yet.....

Ok, so I think I've worked this out - my current OEM wheels are 18x7" +55 therefore by hypothetically replacing these with the 18x7.5" +35 they should stick out exactly 20mm more towards the guard. I just need to go home and measure how much room I have between the OEM wheel and the guard

I'm actually quite tempted to get these wheels but not right now, need to upgrade my brakes soon so cash will go to that first

Bump and a half!

I've since got Work Emotion XT7 18x8.5 +46, fitment is perfect

I realised after haha

Where did you source your set?

Got mine from another forum member

Take a peek at mine, 18x8.5 +35. : http://tinyurl.com/agvbzop
I'm guessing 18x7.5" +35 would sit 1/2" inward, if so - very flush.

I've gone up at the rear 5mm since those pics were made so I can tour 5up with luggage and no issues.
Cruisn rolled the rears up and I bent up the lips where they meet the plastic arch trims.
