Default 17x8.25 on eg hatch

think of getting some xxr 527s that are 17x8.25. how much rolling of the fenders do you think is required for this setup?. will they even work?

I would suggest trying the Wheel and Tire forum instead.

You'll have to roll and/or flare the **** out of your fenders, run stupid camber, and your car is going to become slower than a Vespa. Stop with your hellaflush bullshit, and get some properly fitting wheels and tires.

If this is what you are going for please drive your car with you in it off a cliff.

stretching tires is dangerous. I have 18's with a 35 offset and are 7.5 and barely fits but I don't have my car stupid lowered. no use in getting a wide rim if u have to stretch the tire to fit .. I see no benefit in it unless u wanna fit in with ur cool club

if your car isnt going to be driven at all go for that look by all means but if ur gonna be driving it around dont be an *** hat and make ur car unsafe to drive. Some of us have families around here and dont wanna be killed while driving on the roads by morons like this.

im not going for that look i have a chance to get the wheels cheap and im not slammed. i do have fully ajustable k sports though. i just want the wide wheel look. im not streching tires i will run the appropiate sized tire. i will roll the fenders if i have to. if i have to run stupid camber i will just resell them. and to you saying i need some properly fitting wheels i have 16x7 rota that fit just fine. i just like the xxrs.

You will have to run stupid camber so I would just sell them now.
