GTEASER Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Thanks Hanger!!! Yeah, now with the black wheels the chrome headlights stick out like a sore thumb. Time to bake 'em open and get rid of most of that gaudy chrome.

Very minor rubbing, maybe 1/8" front and rear. Overall 1.5" wider wheel and tire.....same weight as stock. http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/02/25/jypy4aqa.jpg  hmmm... the meaty tires make 18"s look actually viable on the 5th gens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTEASER Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 (edited) That's what I was hoping and it does seem to. I was a little afraid the wheels would still look too small, especially being black, but I am very happy with the look. I think the design of the wheel, with the longish, somewhat concave spokes that extend all the way to the lip make the wheel look bigger than it is. Some 18s look small simply because they have a thick lip, shorter spoke and more of a salad plate hub area design. The overall dimension of the 255/40 is only 2mm bigger than the diameter of the stock 225/45 so the tire really isn't much bigger around. Basically all I did was add width to fill out the overhang of the fenders left by the sunken in stock wheels.

Brent C Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 this car needs an exhaust asap. Â I just bought Gteasers right side off his car, so it will look better. Not going for performance at all, just looks:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

s2baru Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Will deffinately come together after some drop. Me personally have never enjoyed wheels with a lip unles SUPER wide. I can vision the car lower though and itll have an aggressive look for ya, good move Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coppertone Posted March 11, 2014 Share Posted March 11, 2014 I agree that these are stunning and well worth the cost that he is asking. Now if I still had my VW's then this would be purchased already lol. But sadly I do not feel that way about my Subaru. It's a great car, but it's not a car that I am in love with. 2010 2.5GT limited is for sale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

minuccims Posted March 15, 2014 Share Posted March 15, 2014 (edited) Those look like the XXR 527s that I have for the summer (18x8.75 +35 offset)  Those seem to poke out a little more. My guess is they are the 9.75 width. The picture does not look concave enough to be +20 offset. http://www.xxrwheels.com/xxr_527.shtml Edited March 15, 2014 by minuccims Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
