im about to buy new rims, which i know almost nothing about, just asking friends for guidance etc. i really want to buy the xxr 527s, but i want to make sure everything is right for my car before i buy them.

the rim guide says that for 15'' i need: 15x5.5, ET45, 185/60/15 = 23.7

and these xxrs are: XXR 527 15" x 8.25" 4x100 / 4X114.3 ET 0 Flat Black

here is the link: xxr 527. can anyone tell me if im getting the right type of rims for my car?

oh yeah i also have 1.8" drop with the springs i have installed on my car,
but then i guess after skimming through that thread, with 8" basically is too wide?

hmm okay so i need to find something thats 6-7 wide?

This is 16x8+0 w/ 195/50/16. Stretched just fine. You could even pull off a 185/50 if you could find em or dont mind paying the significantly higher price.
Yes this is my car, yes I daily drive it 300-400 miles a week exactly like this.
-3 Camber Shims, rear fenders rolled, pulled and widened a bit.

i just talked to one of my friends who knows all about this stuff (like you all, and unlike myself) and he said we can do that stuff to my fender as well. im also going with thin tires , so with that combination he said im gonna be fine without any rubbing. thanks for the help!

I am running 15x8 25 offset in the rear,no camber yet....DF210s for drop.....rubbing yes,bad....no....215/50s

0 offset you can run fine in the rear with camber,no camber it will look funny to be honest....

Fronts.....0 may be a bit much,I put my rears on the front to see how it looked and it was not great looking.....0 offset would be way out here past the fender.

From my experience 0 offset in the rear on a 16" wheel instead of a 15" wheel is a bit different.

Could not drive the car with any kind of decent drop with a 8+0. You will def need a minimum of a roll and pull to make it work.
