XXR 527s

[Big-Kokujin]

Pics shortly. Waiting for my laptop to charge since I'm at work and not by a plug.

They turned out to be less stretch than I originally planned for and wanted. The federals run wide. But still a nice stretch. If I have to buy tires again I'll get something other than them. I also have a video of them getting mounted. This time he used the cheetah tank!!!

As for drop, I took them out the box and dropped them as far as they go without taking the collars out. I'll start there and raise or lower as needed.

:5eek:NICE:5eek:

[SpeedRacer]

Nice to see you got yours, I am still waiting for mine. I ordered back around the first of Feb but they didn't come in yet. I am still waiting though.

[Big-Kokujin]

I paid in full Christmas Day, got them on the 6th...

[Big-Kokujin]

Its less stretch than it should be. its very slightly more than the 205/40 nankangs i have on 9 wide...should be a good bit since the wheels are .75 wider, or at least noticeable by other than me

This is my favorite one...

Looks good, can't wait to get mine. At least I know what the Chromium Black will look like. I have then going on a BSP tC. Yea I would have ordered sooner but I kept debating on them or not. But ended up ordering them.

[Big-Kokujin]

my first pick was the 526 17x10. they said they werent making them in x10 for 4 lug...a week after I made my order they posted a comment on the question after they said no, and said yea they were...

i was upset, but got over it...still wish i had that extra .25"...lol every little bit counts...lol

[ScIkO*FaErY]

they will look probably exactly like i have. Federals run wide so the 205/40s are as wide as a "normal" 215/40s...i really wish I wouldnt have gotten the federals. something that doesnt run wide would have fit better...

Here is my favorite pic of the day...

[ScIkO*FaErY]

awesome thats a good stretch for me i dont need anything crazy lol
they look really good on yours :)
next time try the neo gen tires they are designed for negative camber
and they stretch really nice and theyre cheap which is a bonus in my book

[DeadCannon]

NLMotoring announced yesterday that they will be carrying the 527s in a matte bronze and hypersilver. Looks like I'll be getting another set of bronze rims soon!

It was funny, I posted them after being mounted on Next Level's fb page and they posted back, "kids, dont try this at home." lol...I know but I was trying to get the cheapest I could find, and at the time the Federals were like $47, I think I paid like $270 shipped...

word? they have pics yet?

[DeadCannon]

It's on their FB page.

[Big-Kokujin]

Just saw them, they look nice....

[DeadCannon]

I'm a sucker for bronze. I already have a set of Type Ms in matte bronze.

[Supraman22]

Damn those look good! I wish I would have went bronze :/

[ScIkO*FaErY]

nate you cant have those wheels you live to close to me lol :p

[wrczx3]

That looks great!

[DeadCannon]

nate you cant have those wheels you live to close to me lol :p

I've never met you.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

i was kidding dont get grouchy with me :p

[SpeedRacer]

Whenever mine get here I will post up pics. I can't wait to see how the chromium black will look on the BSP. Yea I plan on running neo gens too.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

awesome

[snoplow]

yeah I am also interested in these rims alot for my xb2....as I have a bcmcolor I was thinking chronium also...I am running tanabe nf210 anyone give me help on fitment please....and size..

[ScIkO*FaErY]

with nf's you can do an 18 no problem at all i would get lower springs or coilovers then you will just roll your fenders run a bit of negative camber and call it a day :)

[DeadCannon]

Except that there's not yet a way to run camber in the rear of a xB2

[ScIkO*FaErY]

really? why not

[pelly3s]

Except that there's not yet a way to run camber in the rear of a xB2

its been in the works and a couple cars have successfully got it set up


really? why not

its a solid rear axle and with the rear disk brakes its hard to get the camber out of it because you have to angle the caliper too

[ScIkO*FaErY]

ooo that sucks

[DeadCannon]

There's a couple prototypes out there but nothing being sold.

[pelly3s]

yeah ive been waiting but i might just have to start to get creative, its low on my list of things to do though

[fizzle]

sweeett, where did u get the rims at?

[SpeedRacer]

http://www.nlmotoring.com Even if you order now, with them being sold out, your looking at up to almost 2 months or more before you order. I ordered almost 3 months ago and am still waiting on mine.

[SpeedRacer]

After nearly 5 months of waiting, my rims ship next week. I will upload pics once I get them. So if anyone wants a set, you better place an order soon or you might be waiting for awhile. I think they are finally catching up on pre-orders.

[SpeedRacer]

Okay, here is the pics, specs on Rims: 18x8.75 +35 offset - Tires: Nitto Neo Gen 215/40/18. It's a small stretch but decent and they weren't that much of a pain to mount on the rim either.

[KiSS]

i dig it :up:

[ScIkO*FaErY]

Did u roll ur fenders adam? Its a baby stretch hehe I think I need a little more maybe if I went with a 225/35 hmm or 215/45 its hard to see what size is good on these weird ass sized wheels :\

[ScIkO*FaErY]

Mine are an inch wider n +25 so ima have sweet ass poke lmao can we say camber? Lol

[ScIkO*FaErY]

http://www.tyrestretch.com/cache/9.75_205_40_R17/9.75_205_40_R17_4_595.jpg

These are 205/40s on the 9.75 I think ill be good with the 215? *shrugs*

[SpeedRacer]

Yea it's a baby stretch but the neo gens have one stiff sidewall so they don't stretch as well, it took 5 mins a tire just to get the tire on the rim and two people with numerous mounting tools haha, plus around 75-80 psi just to get the tire to pop into place. I was going to go with a smaller tire but like you said it's hard to judge with the strange sizes of these rims. So I just went with what others were going with on this size rim.

But Naw the fenders are not rolled yet, they will be as soon as I can find someone to do it. Since the rears I need since there ain't much clearance between the tire and lip and plus I want to be able to go lower in the rear. The fronts need to be rolled and pulled since I can't go any lower than what I am without cutting into the tire.

So yea, you are going to have some serious poke haha. I didn't want to poke to much, I wanted to run wider but still be able to tuck. I'm close if not 5mm from flush on the front and 5-10mm from flush on the rear.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

Im gonna run -2/-3 camber most likely but the less I can get away with the longer my tires will last I think im gonna do the 225/35 cuz im accident prone lol n vs the 215/40 the profile should still come out about the same

[SpeedRacer]

Yea that is sort of why I did the 215/40s since I wanted a little more rubber, especially since roads suck up here and I pass over 40ish pot holes just in my first mile of driving to work and over one set of rail road tracks. I am fixing to camber the rear some more just so I can go a little lower without the fender lip playing a problem. I will go a little lower on the front too, but not too much until I can have the front fenders rolled and pulled.

[TheLunchBox]

i picked up a set of these, 17x 8.5 in front, 17x 9.75 in the rear, and am planning on stretching a 205/45 in front, a 215/40 in the rear of my 1g xB, anyone know if i can mount them with the stock suspension, or if i'll have to go coils before they'll fit?

btw, i do plan on rolling and pulling my fenders... aggressively.

[Big-Kokujin]

having coilovers will make them "fit" less. you will have to run camber or spacers because with none, the inside lip of the wheel hit the arm and not allow you to move. Ill show you some pics of various stages with KSports

[Big-Kokujin]

I didnt realize that I havent posted pics witht the different tires. I now have Nankang NS1s, same size. I tried the same size with Falken ZE 512s and they didnt fit. They run waaaay skinny. anyway...http://img825.imageshack.us/img825/4254/img4358ly.jpg



this is the 512s...thats a long way to go...http://img36.imageshack.us/img36/4717/33553024793155857895510.jpg



Like i said, waaay to skinnyhttp://img215.imageshack.us/img215/9379/32258824817657188778710.jpg



Heres with 10mm spacers...http://img850.imageshack.us/img850/1456/37949129772655693278810.jpg




and heres with about -8 camberhttp://img43.imageshack.us/img43/6466/40664131449792858898410.jpg

how big of spacers would i need? and i'm guessing this means running extended studs for sure, and also whats the easiest way to add camber to a 1g xB?

[Big-Kokujin]

I say stay away from wheel spacers. Look for hub spacers. They push the entire hub out as opposed to just the wheel, keeping you from having to run extended lugs...I think ive heard of some people grinding down the nut that it hits if you dont run spacers, but IDK if that will be enough alone. Maybe that and some 5mm spacers will work. Oh, also your fronts will be 8.25, they dont make 8.5. :P

my bad. fronts are 8.25, rear are 9.75. but what size spacers for each, cuz they can't possibly be the same size if the wheels are that different...

[ScIkO*FaErY]

i realize the tc is different but i run the 17x9.75 all around +25 and +20 in the rear (5mm spacers) im about to change out to a 10mm spacer in the rear tho still not enoughpoke for my tastes and it doesnt match the front, also riding on raceland coils so they are alot smaller than stock ones id probably have serious issues on stock struts/springs but no problems with the racelands, i think im running -4 camber in the rear and almost none in the front :)

oh yea 215/45 tires Nitto NeoGens, had 215/35 and 215/40 before the 40s were nice 35s rode like ever loving shite

[TheLunchBox]

i think i'm gonna get some federals, but i'm not looking for mega stretch. the 8.25s are getting 205/45s and the 9.75s are getting 215/40s.

[ScIkO*FaErY]

if i didnt have the nittos i would get falken fk452s they stretch super nice and are an all around great tire for a cheap price

[TheLunchBox]

[ScIkO*FaErY]

[TheLunchBox]

[RFindley]

Nice set up dude, like the stretch....
