Question Hawkye on XXR 527's

Right guys

Looking at a set of XXR 527’s 18x8.75 ET20 114 PCD for my Hawkeye STI

Who has a set on their Hawkeye ore any XXR wheel ?

I need to Know if the ET20 will fit ok under the arches as I do not want to mess around rolling the arches. Pictures will be nice

Cheers in advance

You really want ET35 for the XXR wheels. Even then on 225 tyres I had to run camber bolts and roll my rear arches to get them to fit.

Ah bummer

Just spoke to the supplier you are right I think he did say ET35

But he said they will go straight on, this is why I thought I would check.

You right Zany

It was a spur of the moment decision I was ordering my coilovers and came across a set of brand new XXR 527’s for £400

I have decided to not bother with the wheels now

They're right, they will go straight on but will stick out another 15mm from the arch further than the ET35 versions.


Who are you talking to regarding these? If you're not already then give Guy @ Japshop a call. They stock these and bring most of them into the UK now.

I've just bought a brand new set of genuine enkei alloys with brand new tyres, selling mine at £400 inc tyres Bridgestone re070 235 45 17 collection only

At £400 you could afford to get them resprayed as they are white to any colour tyres are 6mm rears 5mm front
