this time im gonna use my money to get new shoes for my RS4

but i got some questions

1. will the 90mm wheel fit front and rear without having to buy extras like spacers or rollingthe fnders?
2.the lowest i could fin them for is $320...is there anywhere that sells them cheaper?

i did a search already. Thanks

 

I'm thinking it can be done... not sure what would need to be done for them to fit though.

Can you give the exact size you are looking at with offset information?

 

oh i forgot to say that ima noob. i donno the offset but the wheel is an 18x8 according to he axis website...

 

Well then, how about a link directly to the wheels you are looking at. That will help for sure. If those are 18x8s, the offset is probably +25... I could be way off though.

 

found a dealer on eBay selling them for $260ea. donno how to buy more than one wheel tho lol

they should be the 90mm lip cuz it says it has a 3 2/3 lip depth.

 

According to that the offset is 40. The wheel is 18x8 40ET. Should fit... but then it would be good if one of the offset gurus would chime in.

 

To answer your question... the 90mm lip Widetrack will fit on front and back, but I do not think they will sit flush on the rear without spacers.

I have the 90 mm lip w/40 offset on the front (no drop) and I can cut the wheel at full lock without rubbing. I also have the 120 mm lip w/20 offset on the rear without any rubbing issues. Keep in mind that the fronts are 8'' and the rears are 9'' wide, so I sit flush.

If you were to put the same wheel (8'' wide, 90mm/40 offset) on the front, you will sit flush. If you put the 8'' wide 90mm/20 offset wheel on the rear, your wheels would sit about a half inch away from the fender; leaving your front more flush than your rear.

A 20 offset, with a 9'' wheel = flush on the rear for the Widetracks.

A 20 offset, with a 8'' wheel = an inch lost from the setup above. Which means half an inch from the inside (which determines tire width) and half an inch from the outside (which determines where the tire lines up with the fender).

So yes, I believe you'll need spacers, but fender rolling depends on whether your car is dropped or not. I'm not dropped and I don't have my fenders rolled, but with a car full of people, the tires do connect on hard bumps. If you are dropped or are planning on dropping your car, do roll them.

I hope this helps...

 

To add... here are the pics. I don't have any with closeups on the fenders, but these should give you an idea of how my setup looks and then you can guess the difference that half an in would make in the rear.

 

If you get the 90mm front and 120mm rear wheels and get them with correct offsets you shouldn't need any spacers, but you will need to roll the rear fenders to prevent tire damage. Not sure if Nilo still has a hook up at Axis, but XBBOY here on SL helped me with ordering the correct offsets and size for my XB. (thats his white XB in the AXis ad) Also, those are some very HEAVY wheels. Front = 42 lbs each (w/tires) and rears = 48 lbs each (w/tires).



Good luck and post some pictures when finished!

 

Great Pix! I was afraid that since i have no drop that the box would look kinda weird with the wheels but i actually like the stance.

As for spacers... that will prolly be my next thing on my list. money is really tight right now with college starting up.

the color match looks great btw. ima do that too..... when i have money

 

what size tire are you running... that size looks just about perfect IMO

 

I have a wide body kit on mine...would i need spacers if i get the 120mm for the rear? im not dropped or anything..

 

Yes... you will most definitely need spacers for a wide-body kit. My wheels sit flush with no body modifications and I have the 120mm lip on the rear.

 

do you know of any other wheels that will fit it without the need for spacers? i been told that they are not safe...

 

spacers are safe so long as you don't go crazy with em. Also if you dnt wnna run spacers, get rims that are already wide, and just adjust camber and stretch the tires to make em fit

 

looks WAY TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!... cant tell is its 90mm tho...

I concur with 2Black2Box and hip_2b_sqr. The 90/120 combo fits a-ok with no spacers or rubbing issues.

Here are a few pics. I wish I had better ones, but the box is long gone, and the wheels are longer gone.

 

FML. got the wheels+tires no problem. went to install and they didnt fit. it hit the caliper. so called the company and they sent me 5mm spacers and even with those they didnt fit. would go bigger but i wont have enough bolt to tie down the lugs.

returning the wheels and hopefully getting a new set that FIT!

 

What the hell??? Your Axis Widetrack wheels didn't fit? Do you have upgraded brake calipers? Forgive me if you've already covered that...

 

Thats crazy...mine bolted right on,I just got powerslot rotors and ebc pads I hope the wheels still fit.I see where its close,at the bottom of the caliper where the wheel spokes come into the hub. Is that where your is hitting?
