im planning on ordering a set of 15" wheels for the xA pretty soon, and want to use the stock tires, atleast for the time being, so my questions are:

I know i can use a 15x7 wheel, and even s t r e t c h to a 15x8, but will a 15x6.5 work as well?

And, what offset do I need? i assume its a 4x100 hole pattern? but i want to make sure, these are the wheels im looking at - Rota Flight (anthracite with silver lip)

the specs are included there, do those have the correct specs for the xA and its stock tires??


thanks!!

 

The +35/+38 will work fine with no issue. The +18 would likely work great in the rear and be completely flush. In the front the +18 might stick out just a little bit. Some of the guys running low offset may know exactly where they would sit. You may want to get a set of small flares if you go with a +18. Then you would definitely want to get some spacers for the rear as well.

You could always go with a staggered set up as well, running +35/+38 in the front and +18 in the rear. A 10mm spacer for the front would probably work well with this set up as well.

Good Luck.

 

I am running OE tires and Rota Slipstreams in 15x6.5. No problems.

 

oe tires will streth to fit an 8 but it's a damn large stretch. lol

 

That's not what he was asking.

 

thanx for making me look dumb. lol


and yes as max had said before that will work fine.

 

I ran 15x6.5 inch wheels for a while with my stock tires. they worked fine. the inch wider rim gives the tires a bit more regidity (they need it). I would say, keep with a 35-42 offset, save your suspension components.

 

awesome, thanks for the suggestions, im 99% sure im gonna go with the Rota Flights in royal gunmetal, should look great on the black xA
