Default XXR Fitment Check

Im looking to get XXR 521
18x8.5 +30 for the front and
18x10 +25 for the rear

Would standard fender roll without re-painting work out?
Do you think i will need a tab relocation?

I would also like some meaty tires for the back, anyone recommend me some?

I also dont want my wheel poking out from the tires...i would like to get the biggest tire possible. Im wondering if i should just get 18x8.5 +40 all around after the comments so far.

Meaty tires and those widths/offsets do not go together. You would have to run a ton of negative camber and stretch something like 225 on the rear. This is a 10" +25 rear:

that's just dumb.... that guy does have more room though, he could probably fit 235s which is still way too much stretch.. but even he has a pull as you can see...

10+25 on stock body =

I dont want overfenders no and i would be willing to do a fender pull but not to an excess to repaint. You think running 18x8.5 all around would be better?

I would like meaty tires in the rear, im not crazy about offset, especially when its poking out of the tire like that...but the only reason i asked is becuz i would like 18x10 and they only have +25 offset
The 18x8.5 they got +40 nd +30
I wouldnt mind a minor offset, but i would like to ride a 255 tire, could i put them on a +30 or just cut the offset hastle and roll out on +40 and call it a day.

you could pull off 18x8.5 with a roll, pull would of course be better (could probably do +30 depending on pull)

rim poking out of the tires isn't cause by the offset, its from putting narrow tires on wide rim (stretch tire).
and +40 offset will probably still require fender mod. depending on ride height.

anyhow, what is your ride height?

to give you an idea...
I'm running 255 tires on 18x9.5 +37 offset rim.
fenders rolled and tab relocated.
