I want to put Axis Decades w/ Maxis Lip on all for corners of my xB. Can I run spacers in front to clear the calipers? How much spacer do I need to clear without rubbing? Will a 25mm spacer put the wheels out past the fender lip?

 

wow,.......uh i htink it was 25 make sure to space the back out so that it doesnt look all silly and ____

I planned on using the same size spacers all the way around as well as OTG spacers in the rear for a uniform look. I just want to make sure that I get enough spacer to clear the calipers but not so much as to push the wheels out past whe fender lip.

 

I have those thanks to axis/wheel studio and Brent! lol

Anyways, what are you all talking about?? I haven't had any problems and now I want to paint my calipers and drums so do I need spacers? The guys at axis said I didn't need them.

Is there a certain reason why you want to use them? Can you clue me in?

Thanks bunches!!

 

why would you want them to stick out past the fenders? looking for that mexican geo on daytons look ?

 

I want to run Maxis lip on the front which will require spacers to clear the calipers.

I never said I want them to stick out. Exactly the opposite. That is why I asked how much spacer is needed. I want to add only what is needed to clear the caliper.

 

lots of mis-reading going on in this thread lol. If I'm not mistaken a 10mm from OTG will push it out past the fender.

 

That cracks me up That "Look is so Dumb"

It depends on what backspace the wheels have to begin with. If it's around 40-45 you shouldn't need the spacers. Just the One Tons for the rear.

 

Whew thanks bc I HATE the tires sticking out past fenders look!!! lol


Thanks guys!

 

Hey man, I have 19" axis with the maxis lip on them. They do taper in towards the caliper. We actually shaved the caliper down on the outer edge to get them to clear. No need for spacers that way. Grinder and some careful planning on where to smooth is all thats needed. Hope that helps.

 

I know that your not going for that look but don't forget, you would also need mudflaps.

 

That look is popular still here in Vegas! I still can't believe it was ever a trend in the first place tho! lol

We saw a truck like that just yesterday. My husband was lol!

 

You have Maxis Lip the front? How much grinding was required? Would a 5mm Spacer move the wheel out enough to avoid grinding the caliper?

 

the offset on both wheels is +40.

 

I don't remember how much grinding was required. A 5mm spacer looks like it would work though. The deal is, whether you want the wheels out that far or not? Your getting close to fender lips if you go much further.

 

If the offset is 40 they should fit without grinding. Unless they weren't designed properly on the back side of the spokes. I say try them and find out for sure one way or the other. You could even have them mount one of the wheels on the car prior to buying/mounting the tire to make sure.

 

 

it really wouldnt stick out that far, think its 35 OFFSET, 18x8 with a 25 that would make it a -10 offset, agressive, but not as much as some ive seen, would look good with flares prob
