18X8.75 XXR 530 Wheels on SS/TC

Does anyone know if XXR's 530 series wheels will fit on our SS/TC? I've seen an SS/SC with a 5x114.3 conversion fit the 521s with a 235/40/18. I'm curious if they will clear the Brembos, I know many will not. The offset it 35, I considered just powder coating the stock wheels but really like the XXR 530s and would like to get them if possible and the extra width would be nice to hopefully put more power down. Any ideas/suggestions?

if they dont make anything in 5x110 you need to do a hub swap. not a hard thing to do.

i run 527s on my car +35 18x8.75. clears bembos with ease.

Awesome! Thank you for the heads up guys! SO relieved! I will get a hub swap. It will be spring before I get them as I live in Cincy (HORRID winters) and don't want those bad boys on in winter. But I'll be posting pics as sooon as they get on!

You don't have to do anything to your car to run works rims. I ordered mine last month and should have them some time next month. From my understanding they are all custom made to whatever you like, offset, bolt pattern etc. Think about it, your dropping 3500 dollars on rims, they will make it fit your car perfectly.

I thought XXR's were Volk's lesser expensive line? I found the 18x8.75 XXR's for $143/wheel brand new plus 25% off! That's only $429/set + shipping. And I don't think they're going to custom drill those things. I may be mistaken...

The works I ordered are a three piece rim so the center piece is your bolt pattern. You just tell them what your desired offset is plus your pattern and you go from there. Like I said my route will run you a pretty penny so if you don't want to drop that kind of money on rims go the adapter route. I just wanted rims that no one else has or will ever have. They are almost identical to the rims you see on the new gt3rs but have bigger lips.

Ohh and don't forget that custom rims have to be made and shipped from Japan so they take a few months to get.
