Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
go 9.75 lol up front for most handling you can get and you will have alot more clerance than i have up front the extra .25 inch makes a big difference with clerance but im bias towards rubbibg same width all around looks more agressive i used to have staggered and im not a big fan of them i do like the 17/18 or 18/19 setups ive had 8 up front and 10 rear makes the front seem much narrower compared to rear
its always going to be a never ending project and when you thought you was done you want to do more i still got alot to do myself as mines looks pretty bad as its not looking the way i wanted currently lol when i finally put the wheels on ill be lil more happy but its never ending adventure i have a long list of to do things....
im changing exhuast setup and going to run a chambered powerstick i just orderd today cant wait
where did you get you paint done at ? and cost if you mind me asking

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
out in the burbank at one day paint, i preped and all, but they primed a shot it for 650 out the door, i wasnt looking for show car quality, but i wanted it to look nice, the car is meant for driving, so its gona get beet on anyway lol, but they did do a realy good job..yes i like having the same size all the way around, also enables you to rotate tires. i just kinda wanted a shallower looking wheel up front and the wide ones out back,,, but theres nothing wrong with wide in all corners.... and it handles better too. ;] god i want those wheels !!hahaha

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
well, i found the rx8... i like the stagger look... but as far as handling... 9.75 all 4 corners would do better

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
every little scratch on your current body will show. soo sand it thoroughly before you bring it to them. and remove all your lights and trim... much better results... my brother did remove anything on his vette... i did n the camaro... much better

To any one that does not know that you will stretch the page like page 3. if you place the photos side by side.
Please stack the photos.
If you accidentally do it you can edit the photo/photos that is causing the problem by deleting the photos and re-placing them under the other.I'm only saying this so the new members understand.
Thank You

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
just little update getting rest of tires mounted today and smaller spacer for rear on order so pretty much just waiting for spacer to come in mail......
I rolled rear fender lip gained about a 1/2 inch my fender lip was about 1inch wide as a percaution and going with a 1inch rear Spacer so in theory I've gain .75inch breathing room lol
Wheel was sticking out about 1/4inch so hopefully Everything comes together Monday or Tuesday when spacers come in ugh can't wait
"BIG THANKS TO MY MY BEAUTIFUL WIFE FOR SURPRISING ME AND BUYING MY TIRES AND POWERSTICK !!!!!!!"

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
Only issue is slight rubbing only on hard bumps not on the fender lip but on top of tire a piece of metal that hangs down I can trim but it probably rubs due to soft spring rate and worn shocks which needs to be addresses soon

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
i traded them for another pair of wheels even trade
i just thought of a killer combo for you
pearl white with these wheels with a machined or polishied lip
that would look sick with mathing accents with heritage stripes
that be different
its called rootbeer

Re: Getting XXR 521 on thursday
Ya i know i dont like stectch tires tires i have now are all used i have a buddy that sells them to me for $10 i had these on my other wheel i rather check fitment with used tires then new tires so
alsoo could be the brand of tire as these same tires look strectch on 10in wheel also because i seen other tire brands that dont look as strectch with same wheel width
bt will get 295s tho maybe wider or a little taller tire also to fill fender gap idk yet
