Hello!. I don't know much about wheels, but I want to buy the XXR 527 17x8.25 +25 Front and 17x9.25 +25 Rear because I found them cheap and I want my car to look better.
My question is: These wheels will fit properly? I dont want to do any mods, no fender roll, no pull, no coils, no spacers, nothing, everything stock. I want them wider as possible without rubbing. Thank you.
I was looking for some information about these but everything I found about it was car with mods( lowered, spacers, rolled fenders...). none of them stock.

These wheels will actually make your car look worse without coilovers. True story.

with no suspension work what so ever no wheels will look good on the car imo. just invest in either coils, or a quality strut and lowering spring setup and then invest in wheels. :bigthumb:

They will need a stretch or fender pull depending on the tire size in the rear.

Can Anybody give a good explanation about why I need coils to make them look better?

i suggest you use that search button and check all the wheel threads on this forum. If you buy those wheels, you NEED suspension to be flush/fitted correctly. You cannot just buy wheels and hope for them to just fall into the right form you like. Wheels is an intricate part of the car, its what everyone looks at when you pass by. This is my car give or take a few modification ive done.

Its on Stance GR+ Coils with 17x7 wheels (hopefully XXR 527s soon) It is slammmed i mean slammed lol. I lifted it a bit since this pic. You will be able to fit your wheels better with coils and Full control arm kit. This way, you can control your camber and ride height whenever it is necessary.
