Default Axis OG Oldskool, 15x8 question

Plan on running a set of Axis OG Oldskool rims. They are 15x8 with an offset of +25, do i need wheel spacers or will they fit with out them? And will I have a smooth ride? Thanks

Should be just fine without spacers.
The ride is mostly dependent on the suspension.

I think that there is a problem in the front with clearance on the brake caliper. it will need a 5mm spacer to clear on the later 06's. they changed it up halfway through the year.
Nice find, what color?

I thought that was only for the OG-SAN. I think the Old Skools are fine.

The caliper is a bit fatter... it can either be ground down, or a small spacer can be used.

To the OP, check my profile for the Axis Oldskools...in 15x8!
All I have is a 10mm spacer in the rear and lowered 1 inch...

My buddy has them on an early 06 model and still needed the spacer in front to clear the caliper.

I'm running these wheels now. A 15mm spacer in the rear makes it sit pretty flush. As far as the fronts go, I have an 06.5 and the wheel BARELY clears the caliper. My brakes need changing so if your brakes are fairly new or even have half life in them your going to need a 5mm spacer.

I have an 05 xB and I didn't have to run any spacers w/my wheels. But I must admit this, the only problem I had w/these wheels were someone wanted them more than I did. I woke up one morning and my Baby was on the ground. MAN I wish I were there to catch them in the act



Here are my current wheels.

Default What Size Tire?

I ordered a set of these wheels and was wondering what size tires to slap on them. I'm also running Tanabe DF210's. Thanks!
