Hey all,

I am thinking about picking up a set of 15x8" Axis Oldskool rims for my Fit.. The offset on these wheels is 25mm.

Does anyone know if these will work? I was told by Axis themselves that they will fit on a Fit. But you just can't lower the vehicle too much. The guy at Axis said that the wheels will stick out about 5mm... which is understandable since these wheels have a 3" lip!

Anyone know if these will work without tearing off my fenders? I don't have a drop yet.. but I was thinking of the GF210s since its the smallest drop available for our cars...

 

No way.

I ran it through a calculator and it extends 51mm more than stock, not 5mm.


I think even without lowering it's going to require some serious work.

 

I got +55mm on outer clearance on my calculator, +5mm was in the change inner clearance.

I'm actually considering 15X8 wheels myself, but it would be for look that the wider tire and rim would give, so I wouldn't mind about sticking out.

But I just bought a car for my fiancee, so I have to wait a bit to decide, which gives me time to think (and research) would love to see some pics of 15X8s on a fit.

 

I think that really blows... I sw these wheels in the latest Siphon Magazine and they specify that these wheels are specifically designed for the B-segment cars... ie. Scion Xb, Xa, Yaris, Versa and Fit.

 

That is what the axis rep said to me.. it would stick out about 5mm.. and give it a really aggressive stance.

They are going to test fit the wheels on a Honda Fit for me before I consider buying them. Awesome service with these guys.. Hopefully it will work out cause these wheels would look so sick on a Fit..

 

I saw in a magazine( super street ) I think that showed a pic of a black fit with those wheels on at some show. I'll try to find it.

 

I couldn't have done that any faster.

I dont think these are 15 x 8s but the 5mm the rep was talking about could have been +5MM offset. Which would put you a good 1/2" beyond the fenders. That would be a lot of rubbing. I am riding on +17 offset and I am totally flush, maybe a hair past the fender, cause of the beefier tire I have on there.

 

i think those are the Drag wheels that look like the oldskools.. they don't have as big of a dish on them..

 

Those are Work Equips. I think those are 15x6-7. Looks as if hes stretching 195's on those rims.

Drag's are knock offs of those wheels.

 

the drags that i have seen on ebay were 7.5

 

You will come NOWHERE near stretching a 195 tire on a 6-7" wide wheels....

 

I beg to differ.... 15x9"

MOBILE'S DEN

just over 3/4 the way down to a freak show...

 

yeah, they are probably gonna ask me to borrow a car. Love axis, love service, love their product. if the wheels work, ill post pics!

 

Nice.

I think I'm going with these.

Now I just have to find a good dealer. heh.

 

I wasn't correcting you. I was correcting the other dude who said that 195 series tires will "stretch" over 6-7" width wheel...

 

This is what Axis was telling me. They designed these wheels to give the wheels a "stretched" tire look. They told me that they put 195/45R15 tires on thei 15x8" wheels.

If you look at their website they are running really stretched tires (195s) on the Axis Oldskool Rims which are 15x8

 

any updates?

 

if u like the style of this wheel.. like someone stated work equip 03 orthe better replica than axis' is Drag Dr20... nice lip, offsets that are in range too. racerdre has these i believe... work though iirc good stuff

 

please someone put these on a fit....i just picked up my fit two days ago and i am dying to see these on a car so i can pick a set up......

 

thats funny...i seem to look at my buddy's 15x8 axis oldskools with 195/50/15's everyday on his Xb...
