Default Xxr 521 help with sizing

Looking to purchase a set but don't know what to get. 18x8.5 front and 18x10 rears +20 offset on both. Should I get 8.5 all around? And what tires sizes should I get. I'm on espalier springs.

It all depends on how much work you're willing to put into them haha. I have XXR 521s and I have 18x8.5f and 18x10r +25 all around and I had to get some pretty decent rolling and pulling done to fit the rims. And as far as tires go, are you planning on stretching the tires at all? or are not? what kind of driving do you plan on doing?

For tires the less stretch the better.

With an 8.5" width in the front, I would probably run a 225 tire, sidewall is your choice but for fitment purposes I wouldn't run anything taller than a 40 (e.g. 225/35r18) and for your back tire, I would probably stick to a 255 tire, same thing for the sidewall. What size over fenders did you get?

I don't really know that much about the amuse rep over fenders, how far out do they extend? and I would stick to probably a 35 or a 40 in the back, but again it all comes back to personal preference
