2005 Chevrolet Aveo on 15x10s!

More of a MexiFlush look. Rims are Diamond Racing Wheels 15x10 6" Backspace with 1.25" Wheel Spacers! Also the tire size is 205/50R15 (Switching to 195/50R15 pretty soon!)


The only suspension work on this car is in the rear to put rubber stoppers, so the car won't rub on the wide tires over speed bumps or with people in the car! Can't seem to find any adjustable coil overs too that fit the year of this car! (2005).


Here are two old videos of my car.

I was just looking at your car "Rupert" and I noticed that the rear sticks out. Does it ever rub the tires with people in the car especially on speed bumps? I just took my car to Maui Off Road Center and they put rubber stoppers so I can go over speed bumps without it rubbing now, even with a full load of people in the car!

Omg.... kill it with fire!!

It rubed but I don't have friends and now I have a 3 point harness on the driver side so no one sits there anyway. I pulled my fenders enough to not rub those are old pics. Ive got some basset wheels 15x8 -12 offset but cant run them in Germany because of the laws but when I move home its fair game.

that must suck to live in Germany with a AVEO.... no speed limits other than your car hahahaha

it does especially on the unrestricted parts.

wow that's crazy! I love it!

Thank you! Just wanted to say that a lot of trucks around here have that 15x10 look going on with 225/50R15 tires. Kinda' like this one...

The law for tires here on Maui is very lenient. This truck was on Oahu for the picture though.

I just got new Thule Aero Bars and a new Thule 690XT roof carrier!

What spacers did you use?
did you have to use them?

Diamond : Pro Street Wheel
What would you choose under the offset?
i'm not sure on wheels, never messed with them..

For some reason, the Diamond Racing Wheels I have won't fit on the car without the wheel spacers because of something with the brake caliper. The 1.25" Wheel Spacers are needed. I told the local shop here to order 1.25" Wheel Spacers but they ordered 1" Wheel Spacers by accident so I just used the 1" Wheel Spacers with 0.25" Wheel Spacers together! Equalling 1.25". The 1" Wheel Spacers by it's self wasn't big enough to cover the lug nuts so 1.25" Wheel Spacers are perfect, just enough to cover the lug nuts. Also my wheels are the pro series I think. I'm not sure what size rims and width you want to order but you can just tell them the backspace. My ones are 6" backspace. Also, I'm not sure what brand the wheel spacers are. The shop I bought the wheel spacers from is here on Maui called Intense Motorsports Maui. You can call them at 808-873-8444 and find out what 4x100 1.25" Wheel Spacers they sell by asking them what brand the wheel spacers are. I'm not sure how serious you are in ordering this stuff for your Aveo but I would help you as much as I can!

That's funny :P

i'm serious about this stuff, I don't think on the website they're measured in inches, all in mm or something it looks like, where did you buy your wheels from? Same store?

I'm not sure if you want 6" backspace but just call them and tell them you want your rim with a 6" backspace! I told them that and they made it for me! Lol. Yeah I ordered from Diamond Racing Wheels.

Also if you get Wide Wheels that stick out past your fenders, you should put rubber stoppers on the rear of your Aveo! Because before I had them, the tires would touch the Aveo's fenders on speed bumps or with people in the car. Now the rear has the Rubber Stoppers like how trucks use so the rear tires don't touch my Aveo's fenders now! It cost me $198 for a local shop here (Maui Offroad Center) to put the rubber stoppers on the rear of my Aveo! Also. It's illegal to have your tires stick out past your fenders. Police here are very lenient! Knock on wood!!!!

Ah nice!!! Good Luck! I'm ordering Weld Racing Wheels soon! Same size I have now unless it can fit without the wheel spacers. Then I'll get 15x12s 6" backspace (no wheel spacers). If I have to run wheel spacers though, I'll just get 15x10s 6" backspace using 1.25" wheel spacers. This is what the ones I'm getting looks like...

i don't understand, your wheels stick out so much, a 10" with 6" back spacing is about a +25-26mm offset.. the 1.25" spaces make it a final offset of @ -8mm..

that means they should only stick out @5.25" from the hub

i run a 9" with wheel with a +15mm offset, they sit @4.5" outside of the hub, but i am pulled and rolled, my car has no rubbing issues, and the wheels dont make the car look like a rolling skate. plus, i am a lot, and i mean a lot lower than you.

Just got a HornBlasters Conductor's Special Model 240 installed in my Aveo. Sounds really loud!

02/12/2014: I just updated the first post with new information! Thank you for reading!

http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y15...psec0ed715.jpg

Here's a picture of all my rims and tires on my roof rack! I think that was the most stuff I have ever put on there at once, lol. My new wheels should be coming soon! Decided to put my stocks back on for now because my friend couldn't wait until next month for me to get my new wheels so I sold my old tires right away.

I'm all about bigger is better, and that does look kind'f cool.... Maybe.... I have 27x8.50 BFG AT's on my Aveo for example. Also ran 15x10's on my little Subaru, but my tires were 12.5" wide. Being a tire guy and an off roader, drag racer with my other vehicles. I have to say going from an 23"x8" tire on a 10" rim to a 22.6"x7.7" tire on a 10" rim is getting into the danger zone. Have you looked into wider tires he same height? I raced a guy with 245/40's (22.7x9.7) on 15x10's on his Bug a while ago and they fit the wheels pretty good. low PSI launches and tearing up the drift pad no problem. I've just rolled ALOT of tires off wheels before and I cringe when I see that. Good luck.
