thanks for you help

First you need to find out what width those wheels are. If they're 7.5" then you should be ok. If they're 8" forget about it. Those come with +40 offset which is way too low.
Hard to see the curb damage; you may want to ask for better pics. Good luck.

StanMan

yup, check width and offset.

if your going to spend that much, might as well spend a little bit more and get a new set. at least you know what your getting and knows that it will fit.

Taking a closer look at these, I don't think these tires have 80% remaining. Check out the circled area...wear indicators are coming thru on this tire. Gotta question this sellers integrity.

yeah, thanks a lot. i will opt for a new set, maybe not blatants but i can get a pretty good deal on some axis se7en mod wheels with the maxxis lip in the rear. im still trying to find just the right 18 for me. im tryin desperatly to stay under 1500 shipped w/rubber. Got any suggestions. No chromey for me. classy but not outrageous.. thanks again for the help.

Harry,
Yeah, all i have is Sunday emails from you. If that is what you are referring to, then I sent you an email today. Maybe i should resend?
Sorry for the confusion.

Opps...I meant I sent your request to Axis and am awaiting their answer about the +45 offset.
My bad...

Oh sorry, thank you very much for your help. I really would like to purchase those se7en mod wheels. How does the maxxis lip look? I am really curious as to how that works.
Thanks again
Matt

The offsets are the same it is just a different wheel design with more lip built into it. So your front will have 2.25" and your rear 3". The wheel first came out with a polished lip, not too shiny. Now they are coming with a mirror like finish on the lip, similar to their Mod 3pc wheels.

Also, the Toyo FZ4's, i noticed that they are around 150 a piece, if you want you can go cheaper tires such as the Kumho ECSTA Supra 712 for around 105/tire and knock off some from the final price. I mean i really dont care as far as rubber goes, they are just gonna keep gettin replaced..

big h

Yeah , I wish I could substitute other brands, but all I have right now from Axis is Toyo and Falkins (I have no idea what model because the email did not specify. The best deal you can do, because I'm not getting a great deal for the tires myself is to go to tirerack.com and order through them, because they offer free shipping!!! I'm going to go check it out and see what you can save.

Ok, sounds good. Thanks a lot. I'll be nervously awaiting the answer via email. Thank you again.
