Just ordered 19's...Offset question
 

This morning I ordered my long awaited 19's and chose to buy them from www.forperformance.com. There service people are really friendly and they're an authorized Axis dealer. I chose to go with them because the wheels I want aren't available yet, and they are able to get them the quickest.

Now the guy I spoke to said they come in both a 30mm and 35mm offset. I'm getting 19x8.5" wheels and plan on running Progress springs. Now would I be able to use a 30mm offset wheel or would I have rubbing issues? I'd prefer to push the wheels out as much as possible, but want to avoid rubbing.

Here's what they look like. I ordered the silver ones:

I have the hagens at 35mm They are 19x8's I am going to put rear 5mm spacers on to bring it to 30mm. I think Kloogy's are 8.5 wide ask him. BTW those wheels are going look sweet.

I would stick to 35mm offset with an 8.5" wide wheel. Those are sick looking wheels :thumbsup: Axis owns all!

8.5 width here.........no rubbing, even with Teins...

Thanks guys. I guess I'll stick with what I ordered.

dayum, those are hott!! Which color? I like the copper/bronze finish. i think you'll be fine w/ what you got

Im dying to see them on your car. I was almost about ready to order a set, when I first saw pics of them. Those Axis wheels are sick !.... :bowdown:

I'm getting the silver finish. The silver gives it that really big look.

Kloogy, I'm dying to get these installed, also goes for the MaxxTuning lip and stillen rear skirt.

They look hot!
How heavy are the 18X8?

Nice choice in wheels. They remind me of BMW Breyton wheels.

Those look hype, when are you planning on putting them on?

They wont ship for another 2 weeks because Axis is still shipping a whole container load to them. They just recently started taking pre-orders so I jumped on it.

As for weight, I dont know what they weigh, but the Axis Milano's which look very close to these are only 24lbs in 19".

OMG I was actually thinking of selling my SSRs to buy those wheels. What a sick setup!! They will fit perfect! I can't wait to see your car when its all done.

post some pics when you get them on. i'm caught in a pickle... i dont know if i wanna get 18s or 19s. im gonna be putting a tein/illumina combo on soon. any suggestions

TEE , get 19's you WILL NOT regret it ! I was shooting for 18's , but my friend always told me (cwally) get one size bigger than what you want...there is a considerable increase in price...but its worth it !

do the 19s make the max look "tank-like"?? i like the slammed look & was thinkin i should go w/ 18s. will there be a considerable gap if i get 18s??

Get Tein springs...look at my Max..does it look like a tank ?

19s too small.

Nathan: I'm running 19x8 Axis w/35mm offset. I'm pretty damn sure you coudl fit 30mm, and it would look better. With 5mm spacers in the back, it's basically 30mm back there, and it's fine.

Go 30MM if you have the option.

btw: those rims look good...especially the gold one :)

Thanks for the reply Triple8sol

I don't like my wheels anymore after seeing those :(

They look real nice. Can't wait to see them mounted on your max

so how much they run you with tires??

very nice :thumbsup:

Rims were $1500US shipped to Toronto. With some creative shipping I'll hopefully pay little duties/brokerage on them.

Tires I bought off ebay for $660US shipped.

nice!! i really like the gunmetal ones!!

So change to the 30mm ones asap! Trust me, it will look so much better if you like the wider look.

Hey Hamy, sell me ur GT3's !! :grinno: cheap too! I'm a broke college student.
