Need Some Help

[JDMBox05]

I don't really know a lot about wheel fitment (offset etc.) I want to use the Sportmax002 rims 15x8. I was told with a 0 offset they would stick out. so i need the fender flares? The real problem is that i'm on air ride so i still want to have the majority of my play ( slam it low). So do i need spacers? or will i have to sacrifice some of my drop for the good looks of these wheels? thanks in advance

Spaces will push the wheels out even more.... so... no.

I'm not sure of what offset you can swing with the xB though.

15x8 and 0 offset you will need the flare to accomodate the wheels under the fenders you can still use the airride..

and i think those are the same ones i was looking at. LOL. on the "other" site. LOL.

well i'm ordering them tomorow, i was just worried about the fender resting on the tire and not allowing the body to drop all the way. i'll figure it out

[dfwaltima]

Well is not going to allow it to go all the way down. the body will drop on the tire making ugly ass creases. so the flare what it does is extends the space of the fenders outwards. so waht you do is trim / cut the fender, then when the flare is on it will drop the body line back there is was, but you have more space outwards.

the down fall is that if you was to put your slips back on the car, then the car would not look right since the offset in the slips is high.

those slipstreams weren't mine, i was just using them while my buddy was rebuilding his hatch. The only problem is that i am going to roll these rims to Exposed, but i'm gonna be stickin out like an inch, and the fenders will hit. I wonder if i can stretch the fenders any....... Anyway, i called steve at Bbist today and he said they won't have fender flares for 60 days. So unless you know of anywhere else that sells fender flares, even fiberglass ones i guess i'm screwed. I could always run my 17" TSW Revo rims. What a dissapointment...

Thanks for the help man
