anyone know if the sport max 002 wheels will fit on the xB without any rubbing issues car lowered/or not?

15x8 is what they adverties on the blue xB. but what's the correct offset on that without basically any modifcation to the car?

 

zer0.

 

without any modification to my car? so the correct offset for the xB would be 15x8 with +0 offset?

 

not really the 'correct' offset.
well +0 should be the only offset for 15x8.


doesn't look right without
a (2"+) drop. rolling fenders is a must.

 

yeah - rolling is a must on a 2" drop. I'm on goldlines, OEM shocks, 205/50/15's and have rubbing at 70+MPH when I hit a bump or a dip. just a little "zip" nothing too rough.

here's some pics...







flames away.

 

ok all these nice pictures of xB's on 002... now i'm conviced these are the wheels i should be looking into!!

Nice ride guys!!

 

do you think i would rub if i run a 195 tire? or with a 15x8 i would need to run a 205 tire is a must?

 

i have 15x8s. not 0 offset, but i still have stretched 195/50s. i used to have df210s with 205/55s and with my smaller +13 offset in the rear i would rub really bad before i rolled the fenders.

if you do decide to get 195/50s, you need a really big drop to make it look right cuz it doesnt fill up the wheel well imo. doesnt matter for me cuz i'm on air now.

 

what if you get fender flares, will you still need to get your fenders rolled?

 

that will depend on how low you drop your ride and the tire size used.

 

my "plan" is to have 15x8 +0 offset and run a 205/50/15 tire on df210's. what does "rolling fenders" involve? sorry for what may sound like a stupid question hehe...

 

when you roll the fenders you use a tool to fold the inside of the wheel well along the fender. just enough make enough clearance to avoid rubbing the tire and/or wheel

 

so will you still rub if you roll your fenders.on dips maybe.
it seems that even if its a small rim and you are looking
on spending half the price then on a bigger nicer rim you
still have to spend money for other stuff like fender rolling
and maybe even fender flares.so is this really worth it?
i love the look of these wheels but no one is ever clear
on what needs to be done.some people say to just roll
the fenders and some say you need flares.some one said
that you need to roll and pull the fenders.man ....sport max
really f'd up on this one.i bet that if they made these
in like a +25 offset they would have alot more clientel.
what a head ache.f it...i think im just going with some rota d2's

 

so the Sportmax 002 in a 15x7 should not rub much if any? I have a 4 inch drop, and I have read on here that the 15x8 with a 2 inch drop rubs, so does this sound right? I will be running a 195/50/15 tire on these.
thanx.

 

I dont think the lip will be fat tho...

 

I've always wondered what a staggered set would look like, as in the 15x7 et40's in the front (with 25mm spacers) and 15x8 et0's rear (no shims or spacers)... that might look kinda cool.
