Question Axis Pentas

Axis makes a mesh wheel called the Penta. I've only found them in Hyper silver with polished lip
they are staggered
19X8.5F +35mm
19X9.5R +40mm

I'd probably do the 19X9.5 +40mm wheels on all four cornes with 285/35/19s

I've heard the 40mm is good front and rear. bolt pattern is 5x120.7

but they are prices $1344 before shipping and tires

Nah man he didnt text back, & I dont know the guy, I just saw his post forsale on craiglist, pretty sure the wheels fit, since his car has a 2inch drop, I wished he had more of wider tire & thicker side wall, then just the stretch tires. Im continue to look on craiglist everyday again to see if he repost the wheels forsale, since i lost his #. I made an account with flickr & commented one of his pics, hopefully hell back to me with some information on the wheels.


SOMEONE BUY THESE WHEELS

I am going to buy them. If they don't fit I will shorten my 8.8 build. I did some math yesterday and it will be about 1 3/4 past where my stock rims sit now. That is a lot and I took a tape measure and looked down at how far it would be. I think I'll have to shorten the rear to make it work but I don't care

Skraight.....how much room do you have til it rubs. I want to get the xxr521 but it seeks like they will rub. Its a18 by 10 +25. Yours are 10.5 +30 so that is 1/2 in more but 5mm difference. I figure that is around 5/16th more mine would stock out. Mine is not dropped in the rear only in front. I just want to make sure it will work before I buy them

Karljr is his username for flickr he replied.
"the specs are 18x10 +25 18x8.5 +25 i wasn't running any spacers. the rear poke out about 3mm from the fenders and the fronts actually tucked in quite a bit, i coulda used about an inch spacer."

Ask him if and how bad it rubs. What size tires is he running. I found a place that finances that Carries them I will go buy them if he says it is good

Karljr replied.
"Yeah Im in the stance crowd so the poke is what i wanted. Im maxed out as low as i can go in the rear without having to do any major modifications, bump stops are sitting on my axle plates. and in the front Im gonna go about another 2inches lower. In the rear i was running 245/40/18s they were stretched out on the 10s which gave me about 1mm clearance. and my fenders are rolled quite a bit. i still rubbed alot.

Ah man I hate it when people put too narrow a tire on too wide a rim. It never looks good
