No such thing as no chance lol But I run ET35 xxr's on my widetrack blob without any issues and these sit perfect IMO with about 2-3mm of poke, slight stretched tyres looks great


A photo to give you an idea, ET25 would poke out another 10mm

Correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Et35 35mm offset from Center of the rim? Probably isn't ideal but couldn't I just use 10mm wheel spacers on et25's?
What width are your xxr's and what width tyres are you using?

Ahh sorry lol didn't see the photo and the comment underneath! So more than likely et25's are going to rub on the arches

Thats right the lower the number the further they will stick out! I think stock ET is around ET52 but the stock wheels do sit in abit, Most people think ET35 is too much poke but I think I tiny bit looks very smart, My rims are 8.75" wide I run 225/40/18 on these
