Need some help here bought some XXR 527s and there staggered...

18x8.75j ET20 Front
18x9.75j ET20 Rear

Now test fitted with no tyres, front are fine but the rear look insanely wide, will they fit or do i need arch work? had 18x9j ET20 before all round and were fine.

What kind of work we talking? just arch rolling. Really like these rims but if too much may sell or swap i guess.

they wont be miles off it say, i have te37s 9.5 +12 18s , jsut trial fitted on the rears and they didnt seem miles off. camber arms will get them in , and the arms rolled . stetched tire will make life easier for ya.

Just purchased some 225/40 which will give it stretch on the back. Think i will trial fit them first before selling, haven't got camber arms but currently running at -2 degree with my old rims.

My old ones were 9j ET20 and they fitted spot on, didn't think 9.75j would make such a huge difference.

Probably arch roll with a little pull if you don't want too much camber. I am running 9.5 et30 with about 2.5 deg at the rear and they are pretty spot on with a 255 35 tyre. Am looking to go to a 10 soon though and have been told et35 would fit well . I have my arches rolled flat back

To my amazement they fit! Heres the spec for anyone who is interested in fitting XXR 527 alloys.

18" x 8.75J ET20 on the front with 225/40/18

18" x 9.75J ET20 on the rear with 225/40/18

Camber is set to -2 but going to go more as it rubs slightly when going over speed bumps or turning tight at speed.

No arch work, HKS Hipermax D suspension

Can someone help here??

ive read that a 18x8.5 et32 is wat fits good on the front of the S15, so if I have 18x8.5 et37 and put a 5mm spacer on this will become et32 and fit ok??

thanks
