Hey guys. I have Axis Milanos staggered set up that i got from another member (see signiture). The fronts have opposite offsets from one another. One front wheel has a 35 offset and the other has a 45 offset. Is there anyting i can do to correct the difference, or do i have to scurry around for a new wheel? Axis no longer makes 19's in the Milanos now. I will have to search long and hard for a replacement if need be. Any suggestions?

 

put a 10mm spacer on the 45mm side to match with the other side?

 

I heard that is dangerous because that size spacer will not allow 3 turns to fasten the lug nuts and the wheel could come off while driving. I decided to bite the bullet and order 2 new fronts. They will be different from the back in that the new Milanos has 5 rivets instead of 4 between spokes, and has a bigger lip than its predecessor. It is now known as the Axis Milano Plus. I like to remove my 19's for the winter and slap on 17's. I learned my lesson and should buy rims that have posted offsets.

Pete you are the man. i just ordered from them and got the wheel I need brand new, and here is the kicker......He even threw in a new rear 19x9.5 for an additional 100 bucks. total 514 shipped with two new hub rings. I can replace one of the curb rashed rims in the rear with a new one. THANKS PETE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

well you could have just gotten some longer studs and that would work already

but of course new wheels are better

 

Cool !!

Pete

 

threw in new hub rings? am i going to need those for my 20 inch milanos? they didnt mention about coming with anything except for the wheels and center caps...

 

most wheels are not hub centric and you should get the right hub rings

 

do you know where id go about getting a set of those for the wheels i mentioned to you that im gonna pick up...EXTREMELY apologetic for all these questions..never dealt with buyin big wheels before this is all new to me and i KNOW im startin to sound like a pita

 

If you buy from a wheel shop, they should have them. Otherwise, contact D2 or TM Engineering.

 

i am not sure what's the hub of that wheels. a lot of times they are 73mm but again not 100%. the lexus hub is 60.1mm

so once you sure about that, you just get a ring that's 73mm (or whatever outside boundary) outside and 60.1mm inside

 

73/60.1 will do. I just bought another set yesterday for different wheels, so far those hubs work on Work, Weds, Amistad, and Trafficstar (Maya) wheels.

 

so these will work out for the 20inch axis milano too?
