Wheels
Can some send me the link for wheel fitment guides? I'm a "dummie" when it comes to this. I have been running stock setup wheel wise a while. I was looking at the XXR 527's. Don't know what will fit the car though. I'd like 18's x ____ no idea.... I want 18's cuz they look nicer. Don't know anything about spacing, offsets, etc, or where to begin reading and learning about those! Thanks for all the help!

I believe the offsetd offered in the xxrs are pretty aggressive for evo 8/9. For 18x9.5, you want offsets between +20s to +30s. Anything under +20 really starts to require a lot of fender work. Then you have to always consider that the fronts may require a spacer cause of the brembos. So that will greatly affect which wheel and offset you choose.

At first when people bashed XXR I just thought people where being snobby at a cheap wheel at looks as good as the expensive ones. But they really are trash. I bought the XXR 522s last summer, and as beautiful as they were, I bent 3 wheels on separate occasions. Now, I've never had a bent wheel in my life. But then I buy these things and bend 3 wheels in a timespan of maybe 4 months. I'm not sure if it's the concave design that gives less strength to the outside of the wheels, but those wheels ****ing sucked. Will never buy XXRs again.

no bashing here, do some research. I will not sit hear and repeat what has been said a million times before. to find wheel fitment guides is also an easy search. just takes a little time.
