I wanna get some 15 x 7 sportmax 002's and I want them to be chubby enough to fill the fenders, will tein s techs drop it enough that it will fill but not rub? Also, I want to bring the wheels out so that the rears are about even or out a little more than stock, anyone have this type of setup with pics? Im a rim virgin, the set I buy for my xB will be my first set ever, help me make em the right set

You won't get what your looking for with the 002's in a 15x7. If I remember right the offset is a +37. That offset is way to high. You would need the 15x8 with a low offset. I have the 501's with a +15 offset and it fills nicely. I added a 5mm spacer in the rear to even it out some.

Back from the dead!
I was sick of the Drag 15's I had with peeling clearcoat and everything, found a local guy with a Miata selling his rims/tires with only 3K on them for cheap. In all honesty these are the rims I really wanted in the first place, after having a set of 15 and 16 inch real Watanabe's(still have the 15's, too bad they are Nissan pattern) on a previous car I was really missing the look. I guess waiting worked out.
The tire size(205/50/15) isn't exactly ideal and have a bit lower profile than what I want. However for the price and due to the fact they are nearly new Toyo PROXES T1R's I'll run them until I need new ones. 10mm Evolved Concepts rear hub spacers needed to be used since the wider tires were rubbing on the welded ends of the stabilizer bar on the rear suspension arm. Looks better that way anyway so I welcomed that mod.

And for the hell of it my old A31 Nissan Cefiro with 16 inch Watanabe RS-8's, looks kinda similar with the color scheme huh?

Hi,
Can you tell me the dimensions of your rear and front wheels? I am having my steelies widened today and was hoping to make it look like yours. Are the rear wheels wider than the front? How much lip do you have in the front and the back? Thanks
