I was just on the Axis web page and they have a set of wheels that are 19X8.5 with what they say "ANY" off set needed. Would a 19X8.5 eve nfit with the rolled fenders? Has anyone tried this before? Here's the link check it out...

I can't really answer your question, but I can offer my unsolicited opinion which is "those wheels are fucking beautiful, so I hope you find some size that works so you can put them on your car and have the nicest looking rims on the block".

good luck man

I have a 05 Steel gray and think that the gun metal wheels with the polished lip would be perfect

If they come in an offset of 55 than you should be alright. I was doing some math a while back to see what would fit, and that is the biggest you can go. If the offset is smaller than that you will need fender flares. If the offset is larger than that you will hit the suspension front and rear.

Take this as a grain of salt since I didn't test fit any wheels, I was just measuring with a ruler so I could be wrong.

i have 19x8.5 on my silver 6 but just to let u know if u get make sure u have $800 more to get your rear fender modded and putting anyone in the car besides your self in the car out to because they will rub, but if u get make sure u got extra money and a good body shop to go to.


Heres a pic of mine~~~~ Going to the body shop in 2 weeks for fender mod and 2 inch drop

Really like to hear the follow up after that is done. Pics of the drop and fender mod and how it rides with or without people too.
