Looks great. I plan on purchasing the same wheels for my gf's Cube. Do you think you would have to roll the fenders if you went lower? I plan on ordering fully adjustable coilovers for hers and want it to tuck tire. I don't want to deal with clearance issues due to the low offset wheels though, been there, done that.

No I think you would fine but you may have to camber the front to avoid rubbing. a wheels with +20 in the front may be a better choice if you want to tuck all around

We have been using XXR wheels on quite a few of our show vehicle's. If you guys have sufficient interest I can try to organize a group buy if you'd like?

Looks great.

By the way, the front and rear require different offsets in order to be flush all-around.

My rears tuck nice (tire grazes the inside of fender lip) but fronts are about 3-5mm outboard of the fender lip.

Hey Sir,

Im just wondering if I install Megan LS (2.0 F/ 1.75 R) and then put some 16x8 with 20mm Rear spacer (You know, the one with the 3" deep lip). Does the tire going to rub over the fenders or not?? Because I want your opinion guys so that I want to make this perfect. Hehe

Alright then,

Thanks guys

Mark

Mark - You didn't tell us the offset of the wheels. That's pretty important.

Regardless though, it's not gonna work unless they're a really lame offset. I have 7" wide +40's with a 15mm spacer and they rub the fender lip when the suspension is compressed.

Oh yeah your right. Well actually Mr. AZ, i really dont know about offsets though I know what kind of rims im going to put on my Cube. Do you think that the XXR 002 16x8 (w/ 3" deep lip) and then the Megan LS (w/ 2.0 F & 1.75 R) drop plus like the one you suggested the 15mm spacer would work on my Cube?? Oh yeah, its 0" offset (I just search on Ebay hehe!!) Also, with 205/45/16 type of tire.. So thanks a lot Mr. AZ!!

Take it easy guys!! ROCK ON \m/

Won't fit.

That would give you an effective offset of +15, which will stick out past the fender.

Sorry I haven't replied in a while, my wife had our son so I have been busy to say the least! The 002's are sick but with a 0 offset they are going to stick out of the fenders over an inch more than mine do. If you add a 15mm spacer that would make the wheels -15 offset and stick out like an inch and a half. I have a 5mm spacer to put in the rear to make the front and rear stick out the same. So that's a +15 in the front and a +10 on a 7in wheel. Sorry if I dont make much sense I haven't had much sleep. lol I am considering selling my wheels too since I may be going a different direction with the cube but I love the look.

We posted at the same time lol... actually after 0 offset that would be negative right? so a 0 offset with a 15mm spacer should be -15 offset

Zup guys!!

Well yeah that absolutely make sense to me now even though I'm kinda had a hard time understanding about the offset or whatsoever you know but yeah I did understood guys. Thanks for everything and that helped me a lot especially im trying to start building my Cube. So how about if let say I'm going to purchase the TEIN damper ones. 16x8 w/ 0" offset (of course, without spacers - well I don't know - what do you guys think??) Do you think is it going to rub the fender with a not too low drop?? Thanks a lot guys. I'm sorry if I'm kinda disturbing about my curiosity on this. I know you guys will help me a lot in the future especially building up my Cube. Don't worry because I'll post my Chrome Silver Cube in the future if I finish most of the body mods. Thanks'

Nope.

You're trying to stuff another INCH of width in there, PLUS a wheel that has more outside the hub than inside.

Read up on wheel offsets. And see my specs above. 7" wide with a 25 offset will graze the fender lip.
