XXR 557 QUESTION

[apx632]

Greetings 6g! I have a question. A local guy is selling these wheels of his mustang. As you can see in the pic the car is a 05-09 model. They are 18x10 with a +19mm off set. He's selling them for a killer deal and I could use a set of 18's to mount a set of radials on. My question is will these fit our cars? Clear the brakes and no poke out of the fender? On his car he admits they poke out a little. I figured the s550 was a little wider than that body style so maybe it would set more flush. Here's the pics to help.

Im currently running xxr 521 18x10, et 25 with 6mm spacers. (So et 19) fit fine and no rubbing. A little poke out back but nothibg crazy. Running 275 40s. Lowered on pro kits

Yeah I don't want them to poke out. I need em flush or just inside of flush as I plan to stick drag radials on them and use them for the track. Don't want any rubbing issues.

 

[fordguys550]

Well they wont be inside flush at all.

Heres a shot with the 18x10 et25 with 7mm spacers

They wont rub if your gunna run 275. 285 might fit

Are XXR wheels decent quality? Seem like a good deal but nervous about their ability to stand up to bumps and track use.

Well ive had a couple different sets, and ive driven them hard as hell on mountain roads, drag racing ect. My experience with them has been great

Problem is almost everything they sell is +25 or wider offset. I'm looking for 18x10 +38 to +42.

From what I've seen XXR's aren't too bad. Pretty popular brand. I ended up passing on these. I'm sure the guy will sell em. He actually has 4 of them and is only asking like 475 bucks for the 4.

Found really good deal on XXR 556's and 558's. 18x9.75 (10), et 36 for both. This may be what I go with. They will look very close to stock wheels with 20 mm spacers, so just under flush, which is perfect.
