I am pretty knowledgeable on wheels for the most part but is a 18x10 f/r almost too much? I am thinking of buying a winter set of xxr 521's 18x10 f/r with a 25+ offset.
What am I really getting myself into
I run a 18x9.5 f/r with a 295/35 on the rear
And a 245/40 on the front.
No rubbing at all except hardcore bumps.
little insight someone please!!!!

you can run it, but chances are without fender modification or slightly wider fenders it will rub... also, chances are high that a 10 inch wheel in the front with a +25 offset is going to sit ouside the fender. I've attempted a 9 inch wide wheel with a +15 offset and it sat a good inch give or take outside my fender-and my fenders were rolled.
Also, you want to run these for winter? I used to live in Minnesota... you absolutly do NOT want to run that wide of a wheel in the winter, you won't get any traction-thats why the geo metro's and old civics so many people have as winter beaters-you want to cut through the slush/snow. I've never been to NC so i don't know how much snow you guys get, but i would advise against this purchase for fitment issues along with the fact your not going to get any traction in anything but dry weather.
well I kinda realized all of these factors, after I posted this. I need to put beefy tires on my stockies and roll em around. Rather than buying something that will probably look absolutely stupid. I have a 9.5 with a 35+ offset up front and its almost flush. Idk i was trying to trade my raze's for a set of volk ce28n's and resell em. But the guy is finally figuring out maybe his wheels are worth alot more than expected ;D ahahahah
AH Well thanks anyways guys I really appreciate the info.
