ok i'm new at this, so help me out. i want to get some flares and the rims i want are 15x7.5 +0. will this offset bring out the wheel far enough with the flares, or will i need spacers? if i do need spacers where can i get them? can i use the stock tires since they're 15s too?

 

http://www.onetongarage.com/ for spacers etc, not sure on fender flares , hope this helps some, Russ

 

http://www.bbist.com/xb1.htm they have carbon fiber fender flares also your stock tires will still work on those rims , Check www. tirerack.com for wheels , good selection, or http://www.wheelsnext.com/ or http://www.wheelmax.com/wheels.asp
or even Ebay!, Just a few hope this helps my friend , plus search this web sight it has alot to offer too!

 

thanks. does anyone else know if 0 offset will bring the rims out flush with the fender flares?

 

you can get the flares from www.cftype.com

 

They will stick out past the body by about an inch.

 

i guess i need to go wider to flush with the flares. thanks for the info.

 

the bbist fender flares go out 1.5 inches from the body so a 10-15mm spacer might be good.

where in hawaii are you? have you joined SE?

 

this is a picture off bbist bb with flares and 15X8 0 offset wheels......

 

Wow, so many HI guys here!

The clearance of a 0ET wheel depends on the specific wheel you are purchasing. Most of the 0ET wheels on the market will clear the stock brake system on a xA/xB. You might want to space out your wheel 5mm more if you want a 15x7 wheel to flush with bBist flares.

If you are using someone elses flares, you would need to put on the flares and measure how much compensation you need. Be careful when you purchase flares! Ask them wheel fitment and what size you will need before purchasing. You might end up picking up flares that are too short for a 0ET wheel when it's much easier to just purchase wheels with a correct offset for the flares!

Good luck!

Did you cut the fenders out under the flares? So that you could clear more tire?

 

i live in aiea. no i havent joined SE. if you see a white xb with gold hubcaps thats probably me.

no i didnt. i didnt get the flares yet but i was gonna get fiberglass ones from cftype.

thanks everyone for the info.
