The 527's are first wheels I've seen that have .25" and .75" options, they have a 18x9.75" width option.

Think I found my next wheels. Unfortunately, XXR use a rim cap for the lip on these types of wheels. They are known to get dings from rocks and debris. I hope these are not like there other rims with lips.

Can we fit a 18x10.5 +20 offset on the rear of our cars, if so what is the widest tire I could use? Im lowered and will be rolling my fenders. Which would be the better offset for the front rim (18x9) +25 or +35, and what size tire can I fit for the front? Some stretch on the front is preferred, but not to crazy.
Thanks

18x10.5 +20 would need rolling and some camber. My 18x110 +15 are fine w/ semi stretched tires. You'd probably be able to run a 265/35 on it too...

as far as the front, I'd get 18x9 +25 w/ a 235/40

What a shame the offsets are all wrong on these wide wheels. A +20 will not fit correctly.

XXR made this wheel to appeal to the newer sports cars (370Z/G37,Mustang etc...) that use more aggresive offsets when compared to the Supra/SC/IS etc. Would be nice if they offered more offset options but I'm sure they can do a special order with enough buyers.

How much would I need to pull the fender to make the 526's fit? It shouldnt be major right?

You raise a great point here, and that's actaully been a gripe of new 370z and g37 owners that the wheel fitment is very different now. It used to be that every wheel was available in a +35, but I can see that there was a subtle game change in the last couple of years
