I am researching the AXIS Reverb or the AXIS Hiro for placement on MY04 S2000.

Has anyone tried these to models in the AXIS line up.
If so could you post pics please.

I was thinking 18x8.5 front and 18x9.5 rear for the Reverb
I Like the idea of the hollow spoke casting to reduce weight however not sure if I like the fact that one side of this opening is visible around the lug nuts. What appens when you wash the car

Most of the fitment issues on this car have to do with offset. Post your proposed offsets.

 

the reverb has bad offset hence you can see in the above link to the pics that it is sticking out way too much....

 

The 18x8.5 have an offset of +45 and the 18x9.5 have an offset of +55

I will be emailing Axis tomorrow to see if I can get the offsets for the 18X7.5.

My plan after reading the above posted link is to run 18x7.5 +?? front and 18x8.5 +45 in the rear.

Does anyone think there will be any issued with the rears (18x8.5) having an offset of +45??

 

Definitely. You'll rub like crazy.

 

That's too bad because the rims look pretty good.

 

His issues are from using to large of a tire on the rear.


After some extended email traffic with AXIS I was able to get the following info

Reverb
18X7.5 +42 19 lbs
18X8.5 +45 20lbs
18x9.5 +55 23lbs

Hiro
18x8.5 +45 23lbs
19x8.5 +45 26lbs
19x9.5 +55 27lbs


My plan after today is going to be the Hiros 18x8.5 225/40-18 and 19x9.5 255/35-19 with an inline yellow box to compensate for the additional 1.2inches added over stock diameter on the rear. Staggered both in with and diameter.

 

You'll still rub.

45 is WAY too low on a 8.5" rim to work in the front.

55 on a 9.5" rim is too much on the rear as well. Visually it'll look OK, but trust me, you'll rub on bumps/dips in the road.

 

Your going to rub.
