anyone running 18x10 porsche turbo twists? photochop request

[TTkickedin]

Hey nico bros

So I decided to be a tad different and order these wheels from a forum member off Stanceworks. I haven't bought them yet but I will be getting them, for my z. I'm intending on buying them this week!

They're 18 x 10 +65, but with proper adapters, the effective offset is in the 30's on the rear, low 40's for the front...they're coming with Adaptec speedware adapters.

In other words, flush

I tried googling to see if anyone's fit these wheels on this car before but I don't believe anyone actually has yet.
not that this is straying me away from buying them, but I wanted to see what they'll look like on the z32.. and I wanted to ask if someone can Photoshop them silver, on a DBP z with a Stillen type 3 lip? And Slammered?

I'd do it but I'm afaid I'd get fired if I tried doing it at work right now. And my laptops at the garage.

Also, looking for tire size recommendations. I got BFG gforce r1's I can sell or trade

Talk to Edgar about what off set he ran when he did 18x10 up front.

+40 in the back will allow you to run a 285 with just a roll on an NA rear, should need no adjustments on a TT rear.

So 285 can fit on the rear if it was +40, (but it won't be,) so I'll just roll them to allow 285's to fit?

How about the front? 255 width should be ok?

245/45/17 is what i have for the fronts now, for a 17x9 wheel..

Best I can do is an old pic of "Andy's Z"...



a fav of mine and desktop background because I feel the turbo twists look VERY sweet on a Super White Z32.

Perfect thank you!!! I knew they'd look good
Those are the 3 piece versions, but those definitely look badass.

The one's I'm planning on getting are the full face versions with no lip, hence the +65 offset, and not staggered. They should look a little less badass than the one you posted, but still dope.

People are quick to rule out no lip wheels for their wheel choices on the z32, i'm guilty sometimes, so i want to see how well the full face twists can be pulled off on this car. (and I'm getting a great deal on them anyway.)

Be sure to replace your wheel studs too if you're running adapters. 20+ year old studs with spacers/adapters is always hairy.

A +40 10" wheel will fit a 285 with a roll on an NA subframe. It's what I run.

275s in all four corners would perform the best.

I gotta wait and see what length they're gonna need to be. i'm sure i'll have to do some cutting of the studs, before the wheels will mount on the mounted adapters.

Love to see you make it work, and surely you'll share the pics if so!

Probably won't need to cut the studs too much, if at all. 25mm is one inch, figure 1/2" for material to mount to, 1/2" tall nut.

[TTkickedin]

yeah. i've definitely decided to get the wheels, just a matter of time when i pull the trigger. i'll be sure to post good pics

and Tony, i'm assuming they're an inch for the front, and an Inch in the rear. I guess, now that I think of it, i might not have to cut them at all.

Worse comes to worse i can always get wider adapters... I'll be sure to order a set of studs as well, btw.
