Default XXR 531 in 18" New For 2013

I'm really eyeballing these but need your opinion on how they would fit, what would need to be done to make them fit and what size tires. Maybe someone with these size wheels and offsets show a pic of their wheels?

Front specs:

18x8.5
5-114.3
Offset +35
Backspacing 6.13
Lip Depth 2.0"
Centerbore 73.1

Rear specs:

18x9.5
5-114.3
Offset +35
Backspacing 6.63
Lip Depth 2.75"
Centerbore 73.1

Wow they are starting to make wheels slightly more friendly to the S.

You will need a serious fender roll and a slight pull all around, rear tab relo and a good alignment. I run wheels that are similar but they are 17's and my rear wheels are more aggressive. You should be able to run a 235 front and 255 rear tire.

So even at 9.5 in the back and +35 it'll still need a pull? I was hoping just rolled on all 4 corners

Yes it will need a pull unless you want a lot of camber.

They sure do look good though! I had the 15's for my miata in 15x8 - 0 offest and loved them

Love that CCW look :0) Wish the offsets were a smidge more S2K friendly like +40 or +45!

Stock suspension?

Please post pictures of how they sit.

Have you read the Wheel fitment guide before buying these?

Purchasing coilovers too along with neccessary fender work whatever that may be. That's my main question.

Roll all fenders and relocate tabs. before installing the wheels. Put the coilovers on and roll on stocks to let them settle before running the aggressive wheel. Then put the wheels on and go get an alignment to make everything perfect.
