Default XXR 521 fitment anyone?

I've looked everywhere on google and forums, to find someone with XXR 521 with 18x8.5 +25 all around anyone has please post pictures. i've seen x9 but i will not roll my rear fenders plus stretch tires on a s2k doesn't look good. well at least to me. this picture looks really sexy don't know the size.
I made up my mind for the front after seeing 9000's s2k 18x8.5 +25 215/35/18 are perfect. i also saw x10 on the rear and they look good but others say they rub, they had to camber.

18x8.5 +25 will not fit on the stock front. I don't know shit about XXRs but just thought I'd let you know... That is KJs old s2000 and I can tell you that there is a slight pull to to the rear quarter panel in that pic and that the rear wheel in that pic is atleast a 18x9.5, possibly wider.

+35 would be better but that would still need a stretched tire, camber, and flare for the front.

XXR does not make s2000 friendly fitments, it is impossible to avoid rolling the rear fenders. 8.5 +25 front is very aggressive - will require stretched tires, negative camber, and a fender roll. Also, 215/35/18 is undersized, you want at least a 215/40 and 225/40 would be better. As mentioned, +35 would be better but that is also going to require fender work to fit.

If you won't compromise on rolling rear fenders then you are stuck with sizes simlar to OEM, around +60 rear.

You googled and somehow didn't find one of the 2500+ search results about these wheels and why they don't fit the S2000.

https://www.google.com/search?q=s2ki...ient=firefox-a

The bottom line is they do not make a wheel that will fit the S2000 unless you roll and flare all your fender AND run stretched tires AND run a crap ton of camber. If you put 18x8.5 +25 in the front you will destroy your fenders. I can promise that any of the pictures you looked at have rolled and probably flared fenders.

Thanks for the tip guys. I bumped into someone at the hangouts and he told me and showed me 18x8.5 + 35 is the best for the front and for the rear. that's if I want to ride without no worries. I just have to play with tire size on the rear. I will post up pictures soon.

States he doesn't think rolled fenders and stretched tires looks good on the S. Posts a picture of rolled fenders and stretched tires?

Whoever this was they are completely wrong. You will have worries and you will damage your fenders if they aren't rolled. But yeah post up pictures so we can all say I told you so.

The picture you have in the first post is with the 18x10 +25 in the rear and the tire size was 225/40 or so. Its definitely a pretty good stretch on a 10. I ran these exact wheels but in gold for a year.

If you don't plan on rolling the fenders slightly, these wheels will look very dumb. Driving to get an alignment with the car raised up and all the poke.

I would highly advise not getting them if you don't want to modify the fenders quite a bit or even run stretch tires unless you want to get overfenders.
