XXR 526 and Flares

[89sileighty]

I got an s13 coupe and plan on running ZG flares in the rear and 20mm or 40mm wide fenders in front.Anyone know if the xxr 526 18x10.5 +20 (r) and 17x10 +20 (f) will run flush, or how big of spacers will be needed?I did some searching and can't find anything specific to this setup. Also, did some measuring (drew the measurements on paper and ligned it up where the wheels would sit) but I cant tell if they'll be able to fill the flares.Thanks for any help.

There's a thread for this...
But my +22 17x9.75 sit flush on the rear with 2° camber.
Just to give you an idea

Sounds like a horrible idea

I asked it the Wheel Fitment Thread but noones anwering anything there.So sounds like even with 25mm spacers won't get me flush with the ZG flares (being 63mm)??I guess I could go with 25mm or 30mm flares being my best bet?

Whys that?

why would you get flares and space the wheels out? That's counter intuitive. Plus you're putting cheap ugly junk on your car. Get some z33 wheels and leave it stock body if you can't afford quality aftermarket parts.

creating a thread because people wouldn't answer in another thread was your last horrible idea. Your first horrible idea was asking about flares and knock off wheels on zilvia. Somewhere in there was not reading through any threads before asking that question. About 98.316% of threads that would show up if you typed "wheels" in the search box would contain someone talking about knock off wheels being made by the devil and worse than human trafficking.

If you can't math or find the sizes with Google, buy the wheels, then do what you need to do to make them fit. Learn the hard way.

So you want run flares on the rear and overfenders at the front? that already sounds bad.

You will need about a spacer of about 10mm less hat the overfenders you get.

I see you joining Rachet40gang in the near future.

Sportmaxx wheels are so junk that they had to change their name to XXR because they were getting such a bad reputation from wheels splitting in half and spokes cracking and generally being ugly, if you ever buy XXR wheels they should be for drift spares and that's all, and as far as the flares go, zg flares don't belong on any car made after 1987, very very very few people have pulled it off and since you're already talking about XXR wheels I can already tell you are not going to be one of those people, I would suggest going through every page in the fitment thread and find some wheels you like that fit stock body and go with those instead

I thought it was to get people to confuse them with SSR

The title of this thread sounds like a formula for Sema.
