Default Wich is a more aggressive wheel?

Hey all I'm kind of a noob to this and I have done a quick search and did not get lucky. I have 2 questions.
1) Wich is a more agresive wheel? 18x9.75 +20 or 18x10 +25?
My guess is the 18x9.75 +20 but if it is, is it a big difference?
2) can I fit a 18x9.75 +20 in the front if I decide to go with a square set up?

Thank you in advance
George

The 10 inch wheel would be more agressive as they have the same offsets

It's about the same... Ur looking at less than 10mm difference. What wheel is 9 & 3/4 wide?

If your 9.5 +20 a 10 +25 will sit less than 5mm out from the 9.5 but it will take up more space on the inside which you should be fine.

It's xxr 527 wheel.

Do you think I can run a square set up with that rim and offset?

Thanks for your help

The XXR 527s come in the .75 sizing, its supposed to be to get a nicer stretch out of the tires cuz of the extra quarter inch

A square set up will work. It will look fine. The 18x10+25 would be what I would run.. with a spacer. Here is a pic of mine for reference. I have lowered the car since the pic when my wheels were gray. Hope this helps! These are 18x9.5 +15 with a 20 and 25mm spacer in the rear.

with 20mm spacer in the rear


with 25 mm spacer in the rear
