R56 XXR 530 18" x 8.25 +25mm

Hi all,

Im looking to purchase xxr 530s with 18x8.25 front 18x8.75rear
With +25 offset will this work withh my stock suspension? No rubbing issues?

Im trying to get it to a staggered mini later on i will buy coil overs.

Plus i know about the tires and yes i will stretch them.

Any suggestions are welcome.

From what I'm seeing those wheels are a 5 lug. That wide and low offset also probably wouldn't work.

There are alot of people running 4X100 at 8.75 rears on R56... Its the offset that will make the deciding difference..

I have a buddy that ran those wheels. I think he needed a 10mm spacer in the rear and had a mild stretch. Also removed the carpet in the fender wells for additional clearance.

Thanks yes, ive been calling dealers of the xxr 530s and they were saying something about converting the 4 lug to 5 lug so i can fit the xxrs. They said that only the 527s xxr comes in 4x100 and only in 17s not sure if this is true.
Im really looking for that staggered look in my car

Just to let you know you're going to have massive poke. About 3/4 of an inch. If you lower you car you'll need to do negative camber in the rear. Also in some states if your wheels pass your arches you will fail inspection. But there is those new "wide body" flairs that are all over the Internet.

I realized that when I posted KCLARK..thought people kept their cars longer than that considering he just joined in 2015 and posted last at the end of 2016...
