Default XXR Wheels

Currently have Rota Gravel Drifts 18"x8.5" on 225/40/18 Toyo Proxes 4 rubber.Been thinking of changing to XXR 527's.I wondered if the 8.75" width would be ok,as currently no problems.Standard suspension.Also considered Rota Force Drifts 18"x8.5",but 18"x9" are available for this wheel.I guess work would be needed for these to fit. Will try to avoid this.

I have the same car and wheels but in an et 30, I have had to grind the rear lip out of the arch and set all wheels to -1.5 degrees camber , mainly due to beingnlowered on coilovers.

On standard suspension XXR will looks strange,you will need preferably to run coilovers,camber bolts and then you should be OK

Depends on tyres,but I would suggest arch rolling on front and rear(on widetrack rear arches can't be rolled,due this you will need to slightly raise ride height)

the 18x8.75s will work but coilovers are ideally required to get it sitting right , the 18x9s wont work without archwork and coilovers .
