Haha fair enough, they do look good! I'm just after a lighter wheel I can put on for track days with some proper semi slicks. If Im gonna be using spacers though, I might aswell get adapter spacers so I can pick up a cheap used set of 5 x 114.3 rpf1's.

Well yes mine are bolt on spacers. That's another option i suppose. as long as you can find the spacers you need. probably cost more than the wheel!

Where did you get the spacers?

Just measured the stock studs though, and they would require at least a 30mm spacer, so really high offset wheels to compensate...and I can't get shorter studs if I want to interchange with my current wheels and no spacers for the street...so I might need to scratch that idea.

Bought them off here. just a lucky find, they pop up from time to time. 32mm rear and 20 something at the front. 18x10 +60 rear and 18x9 +50 front.

Factory stud length is fine if using bolt on spacers. I may be able to get a set of nt03s in silver. i think theyre 18x9.5 not sure about offset though but they concave more. and not sure on stuff pattern but they're off a lexus is200

Ah ok, I had a look and there's a few options on ebay as well.

I would have thought a thinner bolt on spacer would require shorter studs? But I see that the wheels have little recesses between the lug holes on the inside face, so you could get away with the studs being a bit longer than the thickness of the spacer.



The rpf1's are the same, so I might yet be able to get away with a 20 or 25mm spacer, with the oem studs sticking out 5 to 10mm further, and still be able to bolt the wheel flush to the spacer.

I could get 30mm spacers that are flush with the stud ends, but then I would need wheels with an offset of at least 54 on the front, and I think 18x9.5 rpf1's only go up to et 45.

Sorry if I'm going a bit off topic here...so here's a quick and dirty photochop of your turbo rolling on some outlaws.

Oh i didn't know that you didn't know that there's "space" for the bolts to stick into on the wheels.

Geez nice work. The 18's dont look half bad on my car. would have thought they're to big. They just dont suit on the red 924 cgt in photo in 18"

Temptation is real to get a set. I know i can fit 18x11 on the rear but i'd rather stick with the 10" with a fat tyre as it looks better.

Pretty convenient, I might be able to get some nice track wheels after all!

Yeah I reckon the 18's look pretty good. The only problem is, going by the sizing chart on the website, the 18 x9.5's only come in et45, therefore they would likely have a lot less dish than the ones I chopped into the picture.

You could go for the 17x11 +17 on the rear, that should give you some nice dish. But it will be tight fitment, and tires sizes are gonna be rare and expensive.

17 x 9 +11 might be a better compromise between dish and fitment. They will poke about 5mm more than your current rears and won't need a spacer. You will just need to run a slightly narrower tire...a 255 would probably be ideal. And you can run 17 x 9 +30 on the front for a nice square setup, and similar fitment to your nt03's, but without the need for spacers.

I did look at the fitments. i'd need +45 for the 11" wide rears. It sill probably dish similar to the pic i think.

9.5" et40 will require spacers.
9" et+11 will fit perfect.

rears are 18x10 et60 - 32mm (28)
