Work Emotion CR Kiwami's
#11
Okay some advice please!!
They arrived and they've been fitted today but I'm not sure about the fitment. Could do with some expert opinions..!
I bought the sizes as stated above, and the wheels really are lovely:
The fronts fit out the arches quite nicely, but the rears stick out a little more than I expected/calculated:
The extent that they stick out is really obvious in this picture:
and from the front too:
So do I have any options? The prospect of rolling arches scares me!

My opinion, but they look far too big for that ride height. You'd have to drop the car to make them work which would mean arch work I'd imagine? That's why I've stuck with 17", not to mention the better ride.

I agree, needs to be lowered to look right. The arch gap is bigger than the tyre, I think that's why it looks strange.

It does look strange, like you've had the car lifted off the ground on jacks and then you've lowered it back down, but the car hasn't settled properly.
There looks to be hardy any camber either. The fronts look bolt upright, maybe it would look a bit better if there was a touch more.

Maybe it's the photos above but they look very different to the facelift wheels imo. I really like them! Each to their own I guess. Maybe it was the wrong decision if I have to roll the arches to get the fitment as I want though

There was some of these at ace cafe last year red s2k on 18s looked yummy!!! Or a very similar wheel...
That fitment will fit fine, just go for it. My XD9's were much lower offset and wider, they did need an arch roll but yours wont. Take a look at the wheel fitment thread I created in my sig for some more help.
