I ordered a set of Axis Mod rims that were used, with new tires. Got them in and they dont fit. Just barely off. Here are the rim details

Rim Width: 8.5J
Tire Width: 245
Rim Diameter (inches): 19
Aspect Ratio: 40
Offset: 35
Load Index:
Number of Bolts: 5
Speed Index: ZR: over 240 km/h
Bolt Pattern: 5 x 5.12 or 5 x 130


Any way to get these to work?? I hate to have to go thru all the hassle of reselling these. Especially for the great deal I got on them... Thanks in advance!

No easy way to get them to fit, the bolt pattern is wrong. you need 5x114.3. I think some places sell wheel adapters(Eibach and H&R come to mind) if you really need to use those wheels.

Your bolt pattern is wrong, your offset might be too low, your wheel and tire combination is an inch larger than stock. To fix that, you'll need to roll your fender or get new ones and get a new hub. Unless you're willing to do that (and I highly recommend against it) you're going to have to sell or trade them. For starters, you want a wheel that has a 5 x 4.5" (114.3 mm) bolt pattern. Also, if you want 245 width tires on 19s, you probably want to run 245/35-19s, not 40 aspect ratios.

Ok, I appreciate everyone's responses. Thanks!!!

Well, I found that these Axis mod rims have steel spacers in them to make them 112. I should be able to pop those out to make them fit. These rims are only made in 114.

yes...you need 5X114, you can either buy a hub to change the lug pattern to 5X112 or 5X130.
but i think it will be cheaper if you just buy a new set of wheels and sell the one you can now!

looking good!
so you used the spacer? how much did it cost you?

rx8guy86

No, the previous owner uses Lug spacers, which made the bolt pattern 5x112. After looking on the site and talking with Axis, I found out that they didnt make these rims in that size. I emailed Axis about the issue. The rep saw the pic of the inside of the rim and informed me about the spacers. I knocked them out. That made the wheel size 5x114 which fit the car. Understand? Thanks!
