^ <3 these in person

some XXRs do have strange widths

XXR 527

 

I suppose they're appropriate for someone driving around with a rod & piston assy hanging off their rear bumper

 

XXR do have odd sizes, but they say it is for "maximum stretch". Not the kind of wheel a racer like Team (or me) care about. They don't look horrible though.

 

You don't like my piston? You seem to be the only one...

 

There are probably others. It's kinda like truck nuts.

 

yep.

 

Meh. It started as kind of an inside joke at school and I like it.

 

In PR bad-a** rotaries have them, I like it

 

The XXR 17's with RS3's actually look decent in my opinion. What's with the missing front undertray though?

 

me? came off the highway a long time ago and never got around to replacing it. My temps are fine without it.

 

lolwut

 

Wrong thread dmedz?

Or are you talking about the under tray coming off on the highway?

 

 

 

Looks great! care to divulge some specs?

 

Super Clean. Any one rocking staggered xxr 527's with not to of an extream stretch? pic please? thanks..

and a bunch of other suspension crap I am sure I am forgeting that let me run this aggressive of a setup and have zero issues.

Height varied from the track to the street.

Bumper mods were trimming of the rear fender liners and shaving down of the bumper support bracket and a "roll" (I didn't roll it I used a ping hammer to do a better job) For the front the side marker had to be trimmed up as did the mounting area to allow the wheel to full clock at that height and not ruin $500 tires that are already as soft as butter.

 

That's not deedubb's set, is it?
