Sell. They don't fit well in front and are to narrow for the rear.

Just got an offer to trade for some RPF1 18x8.5 35 offset with tires Im pretty tempted to take them, these wheels are clean. However what will need to be done to make them fit on stock AP2 suspension ?

Unless you buy OEM offsets you are going to have to do fender work. Thats just the reality of this car.

I'm getting 17 x 7 +35 front
17 x 8.25 +35 rear
Tires will be stock AP2 dimensions.
I'm not lowered right now but planning on lowering 1.25 on swift spec R springs eventually. Note that this is my DD . Im assuming it will require some fender rolling etc. just wondering what you guys think of that setup . Opinion please ? Thanx guys !

Bad rear size. I assume those are XXR's as they are the only wheel company I have seen with the weird .25 or .75 instead of the standard .5 measurements. Buy different wheels. Not only are those a little to narrow for the rear they are junk heavy wheels. If you did run them you would need to roll the fenders.

Thanx for your opinion Manga_Spawn !

The stock rear wheels are 20lbs a piece compare to the XXR at 18.4 lbs so howz that heavy ? I understand that it isn't the best quality wheel but i really love the look of them. Fenders will be rolled as well just to clarify . 245 will fit on a 8.25 without a problem from what I've read on here . I also just ordered some swift spec R springs so I'm hoping that will lower it just enough for the look I want . I daily drive the car and have no plans to track it either . What will be affected by running a 1/4 inch narrower wheel in the back if the tires remain OEM sizes ? Thanx for the feed back I greatly appreciate it !

Hm surprised they are that light. I don't believe it. The .25 just limits you to basically running the 245 and it is still narrower than oem ap2 so it's not quite an upgrade. I like the look of the wheels xxr rips off. Sounds like your mind is made up so enjoy.
