AXIS SPIDER 18x8!!!

I got a hook up on these rims. I think it will be bad ass on my white cl... but they only come in two offsets... +35 and +45. Probably 35s? and 235/40/18 tires? and how low can i go with out any rubbing at all. Ive read the forums but it seems uncertain. ADVICE FROM EXPERIENCES? thanx guys. if theres room imma go low wit fullcoilovers if not, ill jus get kybagx n hrsports n save alot of $$.

+45 offset 225/40/18. Im dropped 3". 45 series tires are too big IMO. You want to go 40. My ride is still got with the 40 series tires, nice and smooth.

yeah... I got Nitto 225/40/18 and they are awesome and soft on bumps... better than 35 series tires which can damage your rims....

get the 45 offset. Don't the Axis Spiders have a lip? I'd go with 40 series tires, especially if you're getting 18x8s. You'll probably have to trim the fenderwall a little bit with them being that wide. What part of ATL do you live at? I have 18x7.5 axis mod se7ens with a Tein SS setup if you want to see what it looks like. And if you decide not to get the coilovers, let me know - i actually have a set of kybs & H&R Sports that have been sitting in my studio for a couple of months.

lol sick - yours don't count...personally i think its going to be a pain for him to fit the 18x8's with a 2"+ drop. Unless you can convince him to go widebody...

well chino - i live in midtown, so if you're down in the city and see me or Atlcl (he's got a black CL on 17s, i/e), holla at us
