The 002 15x8 are 0 offset......not sure they will fit.

The 501 15x8 are 15 offset

I'm not sure the 002 15x8's will fit, but the 15x7 with a 38 offset should fit.

i've got a set waiting for me at a friends shop that are 15x8 002's w/ a 25 or 29 offset...i forgot which...:cool:

redrumm 07-27-2007 07:16 PM

didnt know they made them in that offset. im going with 501's

untx3 07-27-2007 07:17 PM

Looks like you just put on the fronts. Is it rubbing alot, especially when you make a u turn?

Did u get the rears on? If you've got pics i'd love to see them. What is the offset for the rears?

reading my previous posts will answer your questions....no pics of rears, and the offset was the same as the front...25...

LiL Wee FIT 07-28-2007 01:05 AM

Will you be putting the rims/tires in the back too? I wanna see how it looks in the back! I image it will rub more than the front.... But the stance.. OH MAnnnnnnn... beautiful!

nexus4400 07-29-2007 03:32 PM

The 002 15x8's are only available in a 0 offset. I'm not trying to be a jerk, I just don't want you to buy wheels that don't fit, and possibly give a bad impression of the wheels. The only reason I care is because I'm good friends with the owner.

PM me your email and I'll send you the jobber sheet that has the specs of all the wheels

Looks so sexy.

Raaaaaaaaaay. 07-30-2007 09:09 PM

Dude, go for the other Axis OG-San's. :eek:

http://www.modacar.com/Merchant2/gra...san_wheels.jpg

Id rock the hell out of those!!!!! 15x7, 1in lip. Little less extreme.
I want new rims again. :(

Whitehybrid 07-31-2007 01:30 PM

thats an idea...:cool:

i could always try civic extended wheel studs and push them out a bit...

Raaaaaaaaaay. 07-31-2007 02:15 PM

Ideas ideas...

They come in 3 colors too. Those wheels are so nice! Reminds me of the old school SSR's. Im sure thats what they were going for.

i really like the sans, i'll read up on them...i'm against getting the same wheels as my friend, but color matched OG's are starting to sound nice...:cool:

Crixtala 08-01-2007 01:49 PM

Damn... those buldge out a lot more than I was expecting/hoping... and I'm sure the 1/8" spacer didn't make that much of a difference. I'm sure there's no way of running the car any lower than what you have. Bleh... I'm kind of sad now.

mimpi 08-01-2007 08:43 PM

is this only test fitting them wheels onto your car? or what?
I want to see them on your car with the fender mod to fit.

Did you try the rear? I want to see those spec sits on the rear please.

the only way to go lower is bag it, or coilovers on the lowest setting...both dumb ideas...and the spacer does make a difference...cambering in would decrease some buldge, but its 1.5 inches wider then stock with a 25 offset, of course it will buldge....

why would it be dumb to dump your car? its do-able at a certain height and with 16 w/ 195-40 it will be straight.

for DD purposes, its impractical, the camber issues would eat tires if you were to drive it everyday...not to mention wear on your front/rear/sides from the road...i had a dumped 96 accord as a dd and had to pick and choose where to go, what roads to take, all because i was too low...and i imagine none of the cars you posted are driven daily...i was speaking in terms of DD'ing, not being a trailer/show queen...

Versa2nr 08-05-2007 03:40 PM

I have to say that those wheels look really clean especially on the white. I can understand wanting to roll the fenders so you can get that extra clearance. But yeah That is definitley a clean look.

Raaaaaaaaaay. 08-05-2007 08:57 PM

How do you know they drive those cars daily like that? Some people do lower there cars more just for car shows. The DA is drivable yes, but that black Fit. No.

The black Fit has to have bags in the rear. Unless he has the rear fender wells tubbed you cant drive the car with the rear that low. It'll rub inside the fender wells.

When I installed my rear sway bar I left the springs out (on purpose) and lowered the car, it sat just like that. But theres no way in hell it would move.

Also, judging by what others have posted the Fit doesnt seem to have enough suspension travel to be dumped. Yes, they can be real low but not dumped. Ive seen the T1R coilovers all the way down and it sits like some do on springs.

redrumm 08-06-2007 12:15 PM

could not tell you if they are or not but i would not be surprised if they were.

MarkyMark 08-06-2007 12:59 PM

I believe that Black fit is on Air Runner suspension, if it's the same one I'm thinking of.

jtanoyo1 08-12-2007 02:00 AM

LOL, I just paid for a set of Work Equip IIIs in 15x8 +20 (f) and 15x8 +10 (r) and they look really similar to your wheels. They are now being made by Work in Japan and I will also be stretching them on 195/50/15 Advan Neova tires. I am going to chop off parts of the fender and mould in some flares though. Also, will probably be going with Airrunner or Universal Air.

Combined with my noblesse kit (sitting in the garage atm) should be quite nice. :)

Very nice!

Keep us posted once the rims come in and on the car with lots of pics.
I have a buddy with the Equip 3's on his Scion. When we have some time I will try them on and take some pics. They are 15x8's with a simialr offset i beleive.

It is not hard to DD a car setup like that. Toe kills tires faster than camber, make sure the tow is straight. The tires will wear faster, but 16s are cheap, and you can flip them since all the wear will be on the inside. Its easy to spot bad bumps and potholes, and it will be easy to avoid as well, you get used to it...

Thats all true if you want to get 100% life out of the tires, but its a sacrifice, the tires can last over a year, being backwards isnt that big a deal, I have driven quite a bit on these goofy setups.

Then myself and quite a few people I know of have been lucky, its a drifters thing, save all the tires you got.

jtanoyo1 08-15-2007 10:46 AM

I will definitely post up lots of pics. I am building the car with fender flares (kinda like those on mini coopers) to make the really Euro like....still debating on what to do with the suspension, might go on airrunner (like my old car) or a hybrid coilover/airbag setup a la Universal Air Suspension.

I got mine direct from Japan, ordered through a shop here locally.

Camber isn't adjustable on the rear either, is it? If not, is there a kit?

untx3 08-21-2007 03:49 PM

i'm looking for the same thing.

I know they make camber shims for the Scion Xb. Wonder if they have somethign similar for th Fit.

Anyone know out there?

redrumm 08-30-2007 02:26 AM

17x7 with 25 offset
