The only ones that sell those at the moment are sgmotoring on ebay. They are also located in La Habra, CA for walk in orders. The hyper silver and gold ones are the ones that have the single bolt pattern. I believe they are still waiting for a new shipment from xxr that's why they were taken off ebay.

Questions on fitment:
I see that most people here running the 20x9.5 / 20x11's are running
225/35 front & 255/35 with some exceptions here

Was curious about this fitment with fender roll and or spacers and different tire sizes-

I was thinking about the 225/255 is a descent stretch on these rims and was looking for a little bit more sidewall as this is my daily driver. Definitely doing rear fender roll. Some do 25mm spacers and some do 15mm I do want to be flush, so looking for a happy medium. I will be on coils...

If I do 15mm spacers all around and fender roll, would 245/35 front & 275/35 rear, would this be a flush fitment? Or is 225's and 255's the only way to go? I know i'd need spacers on the front as they seem sunk in stock, and the rears don't seem too bad stock.

Any advise would be helpful... Just getting prepared for when they get some silver or gold 526's in stock! Hopefully soon, they say it may be a month or so...

Thanks!

If u go 245/275 u might have to pull the fenders too if u got the +13 or +15 offsets... I was trolling in a stretch thread and they recommended a 225/255 set for a DD with minor stretching... This is what I'm going to do and I have the +13s and plan to at least do a 15mm spacer out front...

DGrantG: are you doing the 526's or another rim? I saw on ebay they listed the 20x9 and 20x11 in +13 which i think is a typo as only 1 seller listed it with that offset.

It looks like 225/255 is the way to go then. They look good, just wanting a little more for DD.

I was going to go with 15mm spacers up front, any fender rolling or mods needed for that? I see some with 15mm out back, anybody have to do anything with the fender other than rolling?

Just getting everything together to price tires, getting all ready for the purchase, thanks for your input

I stand corrected, after searching some and seeing some of your posts, DGrant, I see they did change to +13. Did the lip size increase a 1/4 inch from 5.25 to 5.5? I'm seeing 2 different specs

Just got my set on last night of the 20x9 20x11 245/35 F 275/30 R. I am poking pretty bad in the back and whoever gets this setup will DEF need a rear fender roll. I hate the look of them right now without a fender roll and a drop. Is anyone here dropped on H&R's or S-Techs? I'm thinking about just spending the money and getting BC coils to drop it. Any inputs?

Lip size I'm not sure about, I'll have to measure my set and get back to ya.

You might have to do more than a roll with those tires. Might have to pull a little to get the to fit and look right. I have s techs on mine but have put my wheels on yet.

Yea I agree I am going to have to pull them as well as roll. Just waiting till my check comes at the end of the month so I can order some BC coilovers. I think this setup is going to look amazing once I pull and roll the fenders, drop like 2" with the coils, and slightly give the rears negative camber. Also I would suggest anyone getting these to get some extended lugs. I have the SR48 burning blue extended lugs and they look soooo dope with these.

Agree on the lugs! I'm gonna get the SR48s in purple once I put everything on.

Post up some pix of your car!

What style of lugs should I be looking for? I'm assuming the chrome acorn nuts (stock ones) won't work on these? Also, will these wheels require hubcentric rings or can they go right on?

You don't need a pull for your specs, many others have fit them just right with simply a roll
