Calling All Those Who Have XXR 527's

I'm desperately trying to choose what offset and size wheel to go for on my 2006 Blob Widetrack

I really fancy the idea of 18x9.75 ET20 but unsure about what kind of work is involved in the arches?

I've tried to get hold of several people, to no avail!

If you could share your experience that would be great!

Also, if you have any pics of the wheels on your car, to see how they sit with your arches

Thanks in advance!

Byers is the man to speak to bud

I think Mario has something similar on his but I'm sure they're ET38? (I could be wrong, maybe 28). Anyway they look wide as fook and I wouldn't want to get a bigger offset without having to worry about chopping the back of my car to pieces.

There was a group buy of these on Scoobynet by Slowboy Racing - if you drop him a PM on there he should be able to give you more info. Thread here:

I have 18 x 9 with an ET35 (Rota Froce Drift) my rears are slightly rubbing on hard cornering on BC coilovers with a 40mm drop

Did you have to have any arch work done to yours Mario, or are you getting any?

Ahhhhh I wasn't far off...I do listen, I just forget really quick. Shocking for someone who's not even 30 yet

No archwork on my Hawkeye STI and I think the Hawkeye STI arches are already factory rolled so I don't think there is much more you can do in that respect
