XXR531 18x8.5 or 18x9.5 fronts?

[monti]

i came across a pair of xxr531 18x11 wheels on craigslist.. really wanted the Platinum chrome but they look so dam good in CHROMIUM BLACK i bought them anyways.

question.. i want to buy the front wheels but i only found one mustang with the 18x8.5 wheels up front, unfortunately he had no good pictures to see how they look. i kinda like the small lip front and huge lip rear but if its going to look funny/ugly/weird/ then ill just get the 9.5" wide wheels.. i read that the 9.5" wide wheel sticks out alittle and that i dont want.. any body with xxr 531 wheels 18x8.5 up front with good pictures?

thanks

no body has 18x8.5 wheels up front that can tell me how they look.? or if you wished you ordered the 9.5" instead of the 8.5"..

I've had 521's in 8.5" up front. The wheels to skinny, and the offsets they offer don't look good in the front. The wheel it to far sank in, and the tiny lip doesn't flow with the big lip on the rear. I have 10's all the way around now, order the 9.5's.

I have 9.5s up front and they look good. I would not go any skinnier.
