i had them on my 96 tl. when i bought them i had a local shop MILL the wheels to raise the offset from a +45 to a +48. that was the highest they could go without it getting dangerous. i still had rubbing even after my fenders were rolled. looking at soopas car his seem to sit very nice in the fender. just wondering what offset you guys have or maybe the cl has more room than my tl did?

 

It's not a CL TL thing, I'm pretty sure it's a Gen1 Gen2 thing.
I have 48 offset and am running 235/35 and 245/35 tires with
minimal rubbing.

 

We're running a 45 offset with the Se7ens. Soopa said he had some rubbing, but his car is pretty low. Damn it looks good.

How much was it to have them milled to a 48 offset? I'm thinking about getting this done since I want to go a bit lower, but Axis told me they would only make the Se7ens with an offset as high as 45.

 

i only rub when i put 4 people in the car, or when i go around a 10mph turn at like 60mph. lol


+45.


i would raise the offset but i like how my wheels are near flush with the fenders... looks hot.

 

i paid an extra 100$ when i bought the wheels new.

soopa, very nice ride bro. if the +45 is working for you and i buy em again i wont mill

i really liked how strong the wheels were, i hit major pot holes and only once did it effect the rim and it was only visible when balancing. that was due to a nail in my tire which left me at about 10psi when i hit the pot hole

 

same situation dbox, bent one... and only visible on the balancer...

its fixed but still has a wobble... so i bought a new wheel... now i have a full size spare

 

How much did you pay for the one new wheel? I may have to do the same or see if I can redo the chrome, I don't know. Stupid situation made me rub up a bit on a curb.

 

Although I've only had my 19" for a couple of weeks, I have the muse (+45 also) with 225/35/19 and i have npo problems at all. I had 2 big guys in the back and no probs with comptech. Just gotta drive real slow.

 

i dont even know... couple hundred + i got next day shipping on a wheel frrom CA to get it in time for PAA...


your best off re-doin the chrome... will prolly be like $200 something to do that and get rid of the road rash

 

im thinkin bout getting the axis se7en 18" chrome on some new tires (kumho ecsta supra 712's) do u all suggest that i lower it because i dont have much money, and if i do lower what should i do bout the rubbing problem?

 

You definetly gotta shave or roll your fenders just on the rears if you get those wheels, I have that exact wheel in 18" application and I shaved my rear fenders and the rear bumper alittle and took off the two top most clips on either side of the front wheel well fenders...

 

damn that seems like a lot, i dont think i could do that, what would happen if i didn't lower it, would i be fine?

 

sinned... no he don't.... he has a CL.

my 19x8 se7ens fit just fine. no shaving for me


but good way to keep more peeps from getting them!

SO YEA... YOU WILL HAVE TO CUT YOUR QUARTER PANELS IF YOU GET THESE WHEELS.

 

hey soopa, if i didn't lower my car could i just leave everything like it is?

 

you could. but it would look gay...

i would suggest lowering on comptech springs... they do a good job of preventing rubbing with their progressive spring rate and moderate drop...

you wont have to cut or shave or wax or nair anything
