Hi everyone,

I was thinking of putting new wheels on my box. they were going to be the Axis Decades 18x8 with the maxis lip to get the staggered look. However, I'm having second thought about it, because I feel it has too many spokes (10). So I was thinking of maybe going with the Axis Mods 18x8 because it only has 7 spokes, but still not sure. I really would like to have the staggered look no matter what, so if anyone has any suggestions for other wheels and brands, please share (pics welcomed). I'm even thinking of going for the 19" wheels, but they may be too big and will probably rub the wheel well. Anyway, I will really appreciate the help. Thx.

18x 8 are going to be a tight fit depending on the offset and suspension height. They can be done but what spacing you will have to use is going to depend on the offset of the wheels. My 18x7.5 42MM offset are a very tight fit in the rear and rub at full lock in the front (215/40/18 tires...215/35/18's would solve the front rub) and I am at stock height. Dropping the box 2 inches this week....hmmm wonder where they might rub after that:)

The car has been lowered about 1.2 inches, this was done when I bought it from Scion. About the offset, not so sure. But the lip in the front is almost 2 inches and the rear wheels lip is 3 1/4 inches. These measurements are regarding the Axis decades 18x8 with the maxis lip, however I was looking to get suggestions for some other wheel brands that can give me a similar look. If you wanna see what the Axis look like click here http://www.axiswheels.com/wheels/decade/decade.html Thank you for your help.

If you don't drop anymore than the TRD springs you should be safe with the sizes mentioned. I also like the 10 spokes myself. Everyone has 7 spokes :P Good luck and post up pics when they are mounted.

Let me help you... THe black widow had both of the rims you are thinking of.. first the Mod 7s than in which i most recently took off this week the Decades now i have the wide tracks..
