Im planning on buying Axis Old Skool wheels for my BCP, but im not sure on what spacers should I get. Can anyone please help me out...

Oh and if your wondering what color wheels am I getting, well im thinking of black or gold.

 

offset would be much more relevant than color info.

do you know the offset, width, tire size and drop you're running?

my opinion is that the only spacers that should be run are the OTG shims that compensate for the sunken rears. if you get the right size wheel, they would naturally be flush at the front, and just need a little love in the rear. for my tastes, that's an 8" wheel with +20 ET

 

I think 205/50/15

 

ok... do you know what offset the wheels are?

I would strongly recommend that you do not buy ANY wheels until you understand what offset IS, and what offsets work on the box, and why.

 

Ok I went ot Axis homepage and this is all I know

Wheel Size=15x8
Bolt Patterns=4x100w/75mm lip

 

The year of your xB is a factor. Some later xB's have different calipers and need spacers, while earlier 06's and 05's clear without any problems... do a search on here, other oldskool owners have been talking about this for a few weeks now.

 

Also, get the gold ones! Will look pimp on a BCP.

 

Dude thanks for the help. I wanna get the gold, but I dont wanna look as if im a Lakers fan with the purple/gold paint scheme. I think im still gonna get them

Once again thanks for the help

 

don't buy wheels without confirming the offset, or you will regret it...

 

so what's the offset??????

 

See this page for information... http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/tech/...jsp?techid=101

 

wow - what an amazing find

 

i think the off set is 38

 

well i know what offset means... just wondering what the OP was getting as he hasn't checked to see what he was getting..

as cherryBox mentioned..

 

Oh, sorry. I misread the post. I thought you, SquallLHeart, were the original author.

 

they have a + 25 off set perfect for the box no rubbing im setting her down on tein s techs i also have a bcp will post pics for you to see what your future investment will look like soon

 

an 8" +25 is pretty darn close to the ideal wheel imo. +20 would be unbeatable. I looked into these a bit today, and found that quite a few ppl are running a 5mm spacer up front to clear the calipers as boxer_rebellion mentioned.

That would make the fronts poke 15mm more than the rear...
If I had to run 5mms up front on a +25, I'd likely run 5mm all around and OTGs in the back. that's just me, tho.

so... 205 huh? that's a stretch!

 

I worked with Scion Dealership with some fitment issues and this is what we came up with.... mostly affects the 06 models.. but no big problem..

youll need an 5mm spacer for teh front... for 06 models.. for some strange reason the claipers on some are larger and it just barely rubs the rim.. if oyu have an 04 05 it should bold right on..

on the rear i would run the OTG 10mm shims to bring it out more.. but you dont need them if you like it just the way it is..

this is what the dealership in Hawaii had problems with

 

I'm running a 3mm up front (grinded the caliper a little..) and none in the rear - Thinking maybe a 10mm OTG to bring it completly flush.......I'm dropped on goldlines w/ no rubbing issues and 205/50/15's
