Default FS 18" hollow spoke Twists for 996TT Fresh powdercoat

The wheels are 8x18 et 50 and 11x18 et 45.
They won't fit on late offset cars without a LOT of mods.
If interested pm me. We can make a deal that is better than ebay.

I'm not so sure about that. I'm going to mount an 11x18 tomorrow and find out.
Does that fender roller fit a 5x130 bolt pattern?

I think you can get an adapter plate for it.

But, you would have to roll the fender out quite a ways. A 10" 60mm offset wheel fits just fine - with your wheels, the outer lip will be 27mm further out (a little over an inch).

Yeah, I don't think one can safely roll a fender out an inch, without causing some real damage.

Very nice! I like that color. I'd love to have them on my car but I'm betting you won't do a straight trade for some curb-rashed solid spokes in the exact same sizes. If we do a straight swap, there'll be no sales tax. No tax, get it. GLWS!

ROFL! The same size won't help me. That's the problem.
But, gee, otherwise it sounds like a great deal!

The color is BMW M5 black. I'm not sure what the actual technical color is. I have a late offset car. The rears will take a huge amount of work to make fit.
I'm good on kidneys, and the suitcase will never make it past the sniffing dogs at customs.

I gave up adrenacrome for liquid Uranium. The high lasts SOOOOO much longer!

I've been reading about your ordeal. It is a drag. I used a 5lb hammer to get mine to fit. Mine is an 86 so you'd need to do a bit more hammering for yours. Check out: http://allshops.org/cgi-bin/communit...=9980138836765

E,
instead of rolling the fender edges, you can cut them off with a grinder disc, and it will save you just a slight bit more room. Believe me it sounds atrocious, but I did it on my 944 rear fenders and a bmw e36 m3's fenders and both have held out just fine for over a year. No ripples, rust, paint bubbles, sharp edges, or anything. I'll have to show you if you ever get to see my car. I can try to take pictures if you'd really like...!

How much are those tools? How well do they work and how much extra room can you create with them? The later model cars come with pre rolled fenders but is this both back and front? My '89 has no inside lip on the rears but a lip on the front. I may need to squeeze a little more room at the front to fit some 10"s.
What are you going to move to now E?

I've never used this tool (but you can click on it to go to the website where I found it).

You may need to roll the front fender to fit 10"s under the front. It's the offset that's the problem with Ehall's wheels. They're from a 996 turbo - which is a wide-body car - meaning the rear fenders are flared by 1 inch. Because the suspension geometry is the same as a narrow-body car, Porsche just moved the wheels outward by changing the offset.

You should be able to fit them on an '86 with just spacers, however.

It's a real shame that these don't fit on late offset. I've thought about doing my Cup II's in that finish. E, have you tried posting these on 6speedonline?
