Ok so I've been reading for hours about backspcing and offset to the point of total brain meltdown. I'm wanting to get some XXR 526 wheels, but first need to make sure I have everything right. For the fronts I'm getting 18x9 with a +25 offset and 5.98 backspace. So if I understood correctly from what Iveread, I would need a 1" spacer for wheels to fit correctly. For the rear they would be 18x10.5 with +20 offset and 6.54 backspace, so I would need a 1" spacer as well.

Does this sound about right?

I have those wheels. You will need a 1.25" spacer up front and either no spacer on the rear and just have to massage the fender wells, or get a small slip on spacer.

Also, get the larger offset wheels up front. 35mm I believe? This will keep the hub from interfering with installation.

Did you get your wheels online or from a local retailer?

Crazy Im researching this exact wheel and got pulled back here from google.

Thank you CharcoalBird! So the rear wheels with the specs I gave should be good to go with just a little BFH mod? BTW awesome looking bird

Yes, KDW2's. If you are patient and do some searching you can get tires for a decent price. I made $5 on one of those rear tires brand new.

Do you have any wheel poke? I was looking at these rims but I do not want the top of the wheels to stick out wider than the car fender. Also do you have your lowered any?

No wheel poke, they fit almost perfect. Massage the inner wells a little and you are ready to roll. Car is lowered with springs that claim a 1.75" drop all the way around.
