jz788 - man, I really like the rear diffuser as well. I think it's CMST? Does the center light actually light up with brakes? How was the install and quality overall?
Thanks!

You both need to hop onto www.willtheyfit.com and then check gaps between the fender and suspension for yourself. Odds are a 10.5 will fit in the front, but offset is what will make or break it.
Here’s my custom forge setup using stock bolts
22x9.5 front ET 26 265/35/22
22x10.5 rear ET 30 285/35/22
Got macsboost rear shim added to help with tire wear along with gunmetal center caps and black plastic bolt covers.

Gave up on the 21’s… think I’ll be sticking with aftermarket 20’s on OEM sized rubber.
Fronts 20x9 +25Rear 20x10 +25Anybody running a setup like this on a refreshed X? Worth going a little more offset in the rear? +20?
I’ll be running N2ITIVE lowering links and camber arms as well.

In the PY section, several owners were running wider rubber on their stock rims to make the ride softer. Some were moving their rear rubber to the front rims and buying new rubber for the rear.
I considered the same N2ITIVE hardware, but instead decided to go with shims for camber and add the UnPlugged rear sway bar for now.

They greatly improved handling and body roll, but at the cost of added ride harshness and loss of traction in wet weather when accelerating quickly on turns.
Not sure the X needs that given the dampers are already combating body roll constantly and it's exactly nimble in the corners like the 3 is/was.

Nope. JNC026’s. Didn’t realize the inner lip would cause an issue. And I can’t return them.

Where did you buy them, and did you just think they would fit or was it advertised they would? Needless to say at this point - best to shop with a vendor that specifically confirms compatibility or you know others that have used them on same setup.
I'd love to put my 21 inch Y uber-turbines on a MX for example but the only other person who has done so here did it on a pre-refresh (pre 2021). But I already have the wheels so I guess I could try with custom billets and 275 or 285/40/21 tires. But this would be definitely out-of-spec and will likely not try it regardless.
