18" x 7.5" Axis Mod7's +42mm offset.

these are for the front and have the 2" lip, i have the rears with the 3" Maxis lip on order, hopefully they'll come in early next week.

I'm probably going to run a 5mm spacer in the front and a 10mm spacer in th rear - i haven't decided yet, i'll probably start with a 5mm spacer just in the back, and see how they look and go from there :)

how cum you can't do all 4 with maxis lip or could you but the look wouldn't be nice?

you better have em on for the meet brian

i don't think the maxis lip wont fit on the front - it's the way the rims are made, they get the bigger lip with the same offset by making the mounting pad of the rim thinner, i think then the maxis wheels would rub on the disc brake calipers...

hopefully they come in monday or tuesday, and i'll have tires next weekend (if i have enough $$$)

so i should be all good by the 17th :)

Yes ..same ones but in 19's though... Steve was the first one to sport them though.

The set I have were for the Axis xB but since they upgraded to Willwood big brakes the back one won't fit.

The wheels were special made for Tavis from Axis but I was fortunate enough to get hooked up so I got rid of the TC Evo..the one's on Nilo's car.

I know you can do Maxis front and back Joe..it has to be a custom made set..this information is directly from Axis...

They will be doing orders for Maxis lips in a few months..

Brian...great choice of wheels...

I will be running a different set of wheels AGAIN next week and then probably some new sets from Axis in 2004.

why doesn't anyone get chrome? I might very well go with white but not the mods, just the regular sevens so it looks bigger.

do you think the dark blue will look good with 19" white axis sevens? that ____ will look super big because it doesn't have the lip.

Besk_one

chrome = more $$$ joe!

i barely have enough for wheels and tires as it is, jon got me a proper hookup with the guys at axis which REALLY helped since i'm a broke ___ :)

i think the white se7en's would look bangin on your blue xB - and if you flushed them out real close to the fenders they'd just look retarded huge! i think the white would be a nice contrast to the blue.

I know man, without the lip...that ____ will look 2" bigger than yours. How much do cheapy 19" tires run?

Besk_one
01-02-2004, 06:24 PM
looks like a set of nitto neo gen 19's run about $153/each including mounting and balancing

showpaojoe
01-02-2004, 06:27 PM
crap...that's a lot more than my 18's. I used to get those for $360 out the door. This'll be over twice that and I wear my tires out a lot faster than most

Besk_one
01-02-2004, 07:02 PM
well those are just prices off tires.com

$360 out the door for 18's? with mounting and balancing?
you gotta hook me up with your spot, that's hella cheap!

showpaojoe
01-02-2004, 07:05 PM
if you ever need em, sure

but these are like hella cheap tires. i dunno if i'm the worst driver in the world and do burn outs all day but the guy said they have a 29,000 mile lifespan but I got new ones in like 12-15,000 miles and these go down to the metal threading man.
