So I am getting highly annoyed I just ordered some xxr 521 +35 offset 18" wheels. I ordered these 2 weeks ago and it has been an ongoing issue. I ordered them in matte black. Then was told they came in machine with gloss black. Then they ordered the correct ones and they came in a +25 offset. So my question do I wait 3 more weeks for the +35 offset or go with the +25 offset , which I don't know if that will fit. Or go with 20" matte black +32 offset?

If I'm reading it right, the 18s will be +25 offset and the 20s will have a +32 offset? Depends on what kind of look you want.

With the 18s, you'll be able to get a meatier tire and won't have to worry about fitment much, especially since you're just on springs. With the 20s, you'll have a thinner tire. In the end though, I'm pretty sure both of them will fit with few/no issues, just depends on if you want 20s or 18s.

Yes, how wide are the wheels? The offset doesn't mean much if we don't know how wide the rims are.
