So...you are saying that with my current drop.....1.5-1.8 inches I should be ok with the +15/+20 setup. ya think?

Seems awefully aggressive. I'll be awaiting pics...Thanks for the info. I don't mind raising the car a little to acomodate (JIC's) but would like to avoid the hassle if possible.

my car for reference...

 

if you have a negative rear camber, it should work fine.

 

dollar99,
yes, if you could post pics that would be great. I really want to see pics of these on a G35 and I think your car is a similar color (DG?) to mine (I have a DP). Thanks!

 

 

 

Just to clarify everyones confusion: Axis IS offering 15/20 offsets. They are on backorder right now, about 4 weeks. They will be worth it though so you dont have to use spacers. I know these wheels exist, cause I ordered em, and they are en route as we speak!!!! The guy at NEAD told me I was going to be the first one with them, but I somehow think he was blowing smoke up my a$$ cause he first told me I would have em about a week ago. Oh well, I can wait, they are worth it!

 

I have to declare that is one SWEET ride.....black, clean.....mean. Nice

 

Thanks everyone again for your comments, mike at NEAD told me the 15/20 offsets were good for anyone with the brembo brakes or planninj to upgrade brakes in the future, i have no plans on doin that since my ride is near completion as far as performance goes, i was gonna be waiting for the 15/20 offsets but he told me that this offset would work fine, i like the way it look the wheels could go out a bit more but hopefully if i get aligned correctly there wont be so much negative camber in the rear

 

Wheels look great, but what's the weight?

 

thats a good question, but i dont know, never really cared too much about it

 

I believe the wheel by itself are around 28-29 lbs each...

 

if the 15/20 offsets work, then why would you want anything else? seems to me there is no advantage to going to the higher offset and maybe mike is just trying to move the wheels that are easier to get... I ordered frm them a while back and their answers to my offset questions seem to change based on the position of the sun in the sky...still don't have my wheels and they still wont tell me what offset they are going to be...Mike 'guarantees they will fit without spacers' but then I see this setup where the rear wheels are too far in and i'm thinking Mike is blowing smoke up my ***.







edit: not ******* your wheels at all, they look great, i just think they need spacers in the back.

 

hey man i couldnt agree with ya more, mike seem ed to do alot of smoke blowing, never returned phone calls, says one thing does another, oh well i got my wheels ill worry bout spacers later

 

Ouch......

 

I just bought a set from Mike, +15 front 19*8.5 and +20 rear 19*9.5. They are backordered, 3 to 4 weeks, aparently 13 sets ordered and 15 coming. As long as he was square with me, should have a set in 3 to 4 I guess.

 

shipping weight on the boxes was 24 for the fronts and 25 for the rear

 

Some crappy pictures i took a while ago. I'll post better ones soon.

Thanks Dollar! Can't wait for better pics (I saw these on G35driver!). I was looking at SF Challenge and Hyper 5Zr, but can't justify the extra $100-150 per wheel. The Milano seem to be the best looking wheel for the $.

 

I just bought a staggard set of axis milano's yesterday.....
Does anyone think there's gonna be a big difference between a 40 offset and a 45 offset. As far as I know thats all they offer for 19x9.5's.... Think a 275 tire will make a differnce as far as looks go?

 

This is probably a dumb question but are wheel spacers a bad idea to achieve a desired offset.... I mean within reason of course.
