On another note, those rims look like they have a pretty low offset. You will definately have to roll and pull your fenders as well as relocate tabs and trim the liner for it to fit like it is above.

People hate because they got nothing better to do, they have nothing going for themselves. It doesn't make sense to hate on something so insignificant. Whether it's cheap or expensive, brand name or not, who cares. No need to fake the funk.

As for the XXR's, they look good, as long as you're willing to do what it takes to make them fit and look right.

I DO NOT want to change camber in the car. Personally I am not a fan of cambered cars. I'm thinking the offsets of those wheels must be in the +30 range. I like the aggressie look to them. I plan on running ASM rear over fenders hope then they will fit more clear with that type of offset. Prob do a 17x9 with a 245/40

If I had to guess what size the black S has it's probably 18x10 +52 in the front 18x11.5 +56 in the rear. Those specs tend to be common for our cars.

See im confused on offsets - wouldn't a 18x10 +30 be more concaved than a +52. I thought the lower the number the deeper in it goes?

It's a combination of variables. The lower the offset doesn't exactly mean the more concave it is. Technically that is determined by how the wheel is designed. Check out WWW.willtheyfit.com and punch in numbers. 18x10 +35 sit almost the same towards the curb as a 18x11.5 +56. But the 11.5 has more wheel material going towards the suspension.

The 18x10 +35 sticks out 2mm more than the 18x11.5 +56 and they almost almost have identical front spacing. So if a wheel design had these two specs they could have the same face whether it'd be flat or concave.

Backspacing is the distance from the hub towards the suspension. Frontspacing is the distance from the hub to the curb or from this picture below the street side.

Concave has to do with the design of the wheel as much as the offset. Lower offsets allow for more concave face however a low offset does not mean the wheel will become concave. It just depends on the design.
