I was wondering what I would need to do to fit 18x10 +25 XXR 521's? I'm not sure what tire size I would want to go. And would it be bad to go 18x10 all around? I was thinking nonstaggered because of artic dragon explaining numerous times about understeer. So help on the tire size, and what i'd need to do besides roll my fenders.

PS. I'm on a Starbucks High School budget, or else i'd buy some Volk TE37s or some BBS LMs, or even Work Meisters.

Thanks!
Jason.

You will have to roll and pull the rear fenders about 1/2 inch to get 18x10+25's to fit.

On the front, you'll need new fenders because you will never get the stockers to pull out far enough to make it look decent. They'll probably crease/buckle.

BTW, unless you're looking for used, 18x10 wheels do not fit within a HS budget. Neither do the tires for that matter. You're looking at a 275's for a tiny bit of stretch.

With those offsets, you'll need a roll, and modification of the rear bumper tab. You'll also need to run a 255/35 and some camber in order to not need to pull the fenders. If you want to run a thicker tire, you will definitely need to pull the fenders AND run camber.

I had 18x9.5 +45 with 265/35 on the rears of my TT only thing that needed was a rear camber/toe adjustment so the tires wore properly,
I was about 3/4 of an inch off that perfect flush mount, lucky they are true 3 piece wheels so I have the outer barrels getting replaced with an extra .5-1 inch for more deep dish
I actually took all the tires off because the previous owner left me with some curbing, but 800 for all Four new outer barrels isn't bad
Whatever you pick, make sure you spend the extra bit of cash for some good looking rims and you size the tire properly to the car, I've seen a lot of nice cars and then you look at the rims kinda half-a**ed and it kills the look

Just an FYI, you'll probably need spacers in the front to clear Z brakes at least.....
