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.

 

thanks bro. couldn't pass up the deal. guy only wants $ 300 for the rims. and they're in great condition

 

Nice.

 

i just read on clubxb.com, that the axis og oldskool rim only fits on certain '06 xbs. is that true?

 

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?

 

machined-machined/black. if i need spacers, how much will they cost and where can i pick them up at?

 

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

 

That is entirely possible wasn't sure there was a difference

 

what they change on the 06 brakes?

 

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...

 

so go with a 5mm spacer in the front and a 10 mm spacer in the rear?

 

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.

 

Pics please! That's a good deal for those rims...man...i remember when Axis rims where cheap...gettin' old...lol.

 

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.

 

I still need to add atleast another 5mm spacer in the rear to bring 'em out just right!

 

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!

DD sends...

 

id guess 195/50 or 60
