XXR 521's

[2012Coyote]

My wife hooked me up with my Christmas/Birthday (same day) present. They are XXR 521's, 20x10.5 square setup in flat black. I'm going to stick them on the front today and see how much of a spacer I'm going to need to clear the Brembo's. She also got two Mickey Thompson Street Comp 275/35R20's. I'm going to try those on the front and see if they will turn. If they do, I'll get two more and stick them on the back. If not, I'll stick these 275's on the back and will have to get the 255/35's for the front. What do you think?

Depending on how it turns out, I may spring for a couple matching 16x8's for the rear and stick some ET Streets on it like this (a little photoshopping I did):

Feedback is welcome.

These are one of my favorite wheels for our cars. Digging the 16x8 idea as well but I am not seeing they make a 16" for our bolt pattern.

Love that wheel. Just wish the offset was made for our cars. Not really sold on the poking out in the back.

I love this wheel! Not sure how a 16x8 would look with a 20x10.5 in the front. Maybe like a Fwd depending on the offsets. Wouldn't want the front wider than the rear!

Another member had his trimmed down to an acceptable offset.

For track purposes only would be cool.

That's what they would be for.

Update: Just test fitted them. Looks like they will need a .75" spacer. Also looks like there will be enough thread to hold good. If not I'll probably be looking into ARP Studs for the front. Opinions on this?

There's no way a .75" spacer is going to fit using the stock lugs. With that size spacer, you're going to need the longer lugs, or run a bolt on spacer.

Thanks for the advice. AM has ARP studs for the front. I don't know if they are any longer or would compensate for the spacers. What do you think of them?

Those should work great. They're almost a full 3" installed length. That's over an inch longer than stock.

Cool. Thanks, man. Looks like I'm ordering those too.

Going to look awesome.. if 275's fit the front, I'd go wider in the rear (wish my 275 rears were wider, but Im on a 9.5 rim)

 

[GrnBullitt08]

With that 10.5" I would go at least a 295 in the rear...305 would be perfect

 

[Mike K]

If the offset is right you should have no problem fitting a 275 up front. That's what I'm running on a 9" rim

 

[Mr. WHO]

Pfft.......those rims suck! (Yup, I have them and I love them, went with 18's though, see sig)

I love the look of your car. You and Shark Tales are what made my decision.

I love these wheels! Congrats on getting them.

I'm just wondering, will you not have some serious tire rub on the front fender with a 10.5" wide wheel and a .75" spacer up front? That seems like the wheel would stick out like crazy. I had tire rub with a 1" spacer on an 8.5" wide wheel up front on my 07, but I can't recall the offset. Do you know the offset of the XXRs?
