XXR 527 on golf mk4

**antonio102928** · 05-31-2012 05:42 PM

hello. I am planning to buy xxr 527's for my 2000 vw golf . Unfortunately many wheel sites have been saying i cant fit them on due to the offset. How would i fit these 18"x 9.75 or 18" x 8.5 rims on my golf. The wheel's offset is 20 or 35. Would i need spacers? anyone help

no, the wheels defenetly do not need spacers, they are acctually a little to big without them, but it fits perfect when bagged down and camberd out.

I was told xxr are not precicely good wheels, more like theyre crappy, but i dont know, if youre going for looks rather than performance i believe they will do just fine, but be carefull with speed bumps or potholes

so what are u doing to your golf to fit these xxr 527's on?

**JrJanowski** · 07-12-2012 11:56 AM

Im about to buy these in silver 17x8.25 with 205/45/17's so some stretch. But what lug bolts do i need? will the stock ones work? what about the extended lug bolts you get with ecs tuning spacers?

**chrisc351** · 07-12-2012 12:34 PM

You should be able to rock em, what tire size were you thinking?

**Billburt** · 07-12-2012 12:50 PM

please don't. That is a very distasteful wheel IMO. Plus it's multilug....fill all your holes bro

**aar0n.** · 07-12-2012 12:54 PM

Hooray. More people buying garbage quality and ugly, stolen design replica wheels just to look cool. Just awesome

Personally IDGAF what you run on your car, cause thats what it is your car. But dont make a thread in the future complaining **** broke cause wheels you got.

Isnt there a wheel offset thread anyways somewhere around in these parts?

**JrJanowski** · 07-12-2012 01:04 PM

Well im glad for the fast replies, but imo there nice and everything ive been looking for so my mind is set. And 205/45/17. just trying to figure out what lug bolts. You guys wanna help me out so i can rock these "ugly disgusting" wheels?

Fak what all the haters say rock them if you want...i got a cheap pair so i'm rocking them

18X9.75 all around et 20 in the rear and 15 in the front jus bought camber shims and GC camber plates so don't pay attention to them if you wanna rock them rock them

Personally i wouldn't pay full price for these i got them for next to nothing!

**JrJanowski** · 07-12-2012 05:45 PM

stock lugs will work fine on these wheels? and they look pretty nice but im doing 17s, have you had to worry about any cracks?

**brownprofitz** · 07-12-2012 05:54 PM

stock lugs will not work you need tuner style lug bolts and if your running a spacer any greater then 5mm you will need extended lug bolts tuner style, never had any issue with cracking...i don't know why you would along as you avoid potholes n sh*yt i drive 60km daily on them and if you live in canada u know how fkd up the construction is on the 401 it depends on how u drive took me about 2 days just to get the fronts to work b/c of the width of the wheel

**JrJanowski** · 07-12-2012 05:58 PM

sweet thanks! exactly what i was looking for and i should be good the 17s are only 8.25" wide
