I ordered a set of XXR 550's from Next Level Motoring because they were having some crazy anniversary sale and the wheels were about 40% off. I got them in Chromium Black, 18x8.75 +36mm
I initially had rubbing issues when I first mounted them (I'm 2.5 inches lower than stock), but I had my fenders rolled and now I only rub when I hit hard bumps. Here they are!

are you sure youre 2.5 inches lower than stock? coz that looks weird that you still have wheel gap. im lowered 2 inches with CS springs and my front tires are tucked. im running 18' xxrs 530s with 225-45 tires, even my rear doesnt have wheel gap

I'm fairly certain its 2.5. I measured my friend's stock 3 and the difference was about 2.5. my coils are maxed in the front and matched in the rear. my tires are 225/40/18 which is the reason i still have that gap. unless I got completely ripped off by BC then yes. lol

P.S. I really like the way yours sits. Kudos bro

Looks more like 1.5 than 2.5. :surprise:
1" front, 1 3/4" rear


Just for reference, 225/40/18s are about 25 1/4 overall diameter, the 205/60/16s are 25 3/4. So the difference in fender gap is 1/4" between the two tires. At 2.5" the tires should be inside the fender well.

Coilovers will help with the rubbing issue do you still have the plastic liner in the wheel well/fenders.

The car is on coilovers. The problem is too much offset, not enough camber.

Been on the hunt for something like this. I hope they turn out to be the color I think they are (black chrome) .. just ordered a set of 530s from tirecrazy...they were $100 cheaper than NLM.

hmmmm... you're probably right. I have a few friends with stock 3's, I'll take measurements when i have the time and check the difference.
