Were the other XXR wheels pretty good quality?
I'm betting a solid 30+ pounds each since they're cast and pretty big to start with. Wider obviously only goes higher. But here I think you're really going for looks and not performance.

They look amazing would make a fantastic set. The denting comment would have me a bit worried.

There should be a LOT of reviews on XXR wheels and a lot of member who have them. They're a pretty popular choice for cheaper wheels. Quality is no where near some of the major japanese makers like Rays (Work/Volk), Advan, Weds, etc. but haven't heard too many complaints.

Yeh i definitely know with these wheels, performance is gonna go downhill haha.

The denting comment does make me worry about, but i did a search on XXR and people seem to like them. The price on a set of these is pretty cheap too..

I think people looking for something daily thats different yet won't put a huge hit to their bank these will do well. Offsets of +15 aren't bad at all. Depends on the stance ... won't be hellaflush but wouldn't look bad at all if you're not going very aggressive either.

Btw, did you pre order a set already skyline?
Nah I havent pre ordered a set yet, I probably would end up going with the 18" set anyway if I did with the +20 offsets and 10.5" wide option in the rear. I have a soft spot for 18's.

11" width with +15 should get you flush without spacers unless my math is wrong assuming like a 285/30 which isn't stretched. Stretching obviously you'd need to make some adjustments.

I'm relatively new to playing with offsets but would be nice if you posted how I'm wrong instead of just saying so.

Your not wrong by any means, just new to offsets. +15 rear would be flush with flat roll and 275/30

You could push those out to +5 or +10 with a 255/35 and be hellaflush, but trust me after going through two sets of wheels and still not finding the perfect offset/tire stretch.....it's a matter of trying it out and willing to do necessary fender work/tire stretching/camber

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

IMO after doing lots of work to get wheels to fit, leave the rears alone, slap some 275/30's on there and push the fronts out like 10-15mm with some 225/35 and you'll be golden and have a pretty sikk/cheap set of wheels

Shoot I might get me some

I'm getting 19x9.5 up front with 19x10.5 rear and +15 on diff wheel. going with 245/35 fronts and 275/35 rear. I'm a DD so not looking for hella at all.

and yea offsets are something that the more experience you get or have with them the better it gets
