The front is only rolled at a 45 degree, but it still isn't necessary to roll the front with that set up.

You might actually need a 255/35 or 265/30 to clear stock fenders without rubbing

Now the fronts being a 9" with +15 you have lots to play with. You could run full size 245/35 or even a 255/30 and it will not even be close to flush. Flush up front would need like at least a 15 mm spacer
ok so let me get this straight so you are saying that 20x9 +15 and 20x11 +15 will be flush and i wont need any spacers.....

OK, OK, OK...... so I cancelled my order for these wheels (after waiting since Jan 1) and let me tell you why.......

OK so I placed my order with NLM (which is a BIG dealer for XXR wheels) and after waiting and waiting they finally get the 20x9 +15 front wheels in..... soooo after waiting another month the 20x11, the rears are still not in soooooo I decide to call XXR, directly.

Welll, the sales person at XXR tells me that NLM just put there order in for the 20x11 wheels a lil over a month ago and now they are at the bottom of the list to recieve those wheels SOOOOO eventhou they have the 20x9 (f) they will not be recieving the 20x11 (r) for another 2-3 months.


Sorry, summer is too close for the BS ..... maybe I will order them again in the fall when they are no longer on back order.

MY suggestion to anyone that is waiting on theses wheels is to call XXR directly and they will be able to give you an idea of when wheels will be shipped to individual companies.

Just tell em you want it rolled flat as possible without cracking your paint. They'll know what to do after that.

YOO let me ask you something because we have been discussing your wheels in another treat...how was you planning to set up those wheels? what kind of tire, and drop, camber kit? because the offset is like 1/2 inch out the fender...

I would really like a set of these rims as well, but I tried contacting nlmotoring today and they definitely beat around the bush not giving me any answers at all...
Unfortunately I don't think ANY company is getting these ANYtime soon..
If anyone has any different I fo. Please let me know.
I tried buying the rims and tires the guy "supposedly" had from sema. But that's a bust.. And I'm sure a lie. So no luck.
Any other rim suggestions for something fairly cheap(sub $2k) and a nice lip.
Varrstoens are out of stock too..
My car is a daily beater and I don't need to spend 3-4k on rims. As my Evo needs the "nicer" parts lol

Ya it's going to be awhile, I called XXR as well. So I thought about ordering some axis pentagon wheels.. I really like the rear size 20x10 +20(I think).. Anyhow they have a nice 4.25" lip, the problem is the fronts are a 9" with a 2.5" lip and the face looks too convex for me..

So I thought about running the 20x10 in a square set up.. but think the front lip might be too big haha.. Any thoughts?

Or a XXR 521 20x10.5 all around... they have a stepped 3.25" lip, but only come in matte black.. and weak offsets Any thoughts? I have a graphite, lowered G with brembos.. This guys car looks pretty decent..
https://g35driver.com/forums/media-s...ll-around.html

Next option would be Varrstoen 1.1.2's The problem is they are all out of stock.. but I can get a set of 19x10.5 +0 all around.. which would look VERY aggressive, but I think will be just too much in the front, even with pulled/rolled fenders..

Final thoughts would be that the XXR 526 20x9's are in stock....... Sooo thought about getting 4 of them as they have a 3.25" which is decent.. Run some bigger tires and a small spacer in back, then in a month(or year.. ; P) when the 20x11's come in... Sell two 20x9's for a nice discount(maybe loose 1-200 bucks) and keep the tires and buy two 20x11's....

Any thoughts? Just want a nice, semi aggressive daily driver set up... And the main thing is cheaper the better. ; )
