Anyone have a winter setup they’re looking to move?

I have a set of winter Dunlop Wintermax 3D's mounted to a set of black OZ Alleggerita HLT wheels in proper winter sizing if interested. Both wheels and tires are in great condition. Shoot me a PM of interested, im in no rush to sell (not actively marketing them).

PM sent.

What have others purchased recently that will mount to stock twists?

^ maybe just the pic angle, but are the rears sized for a NB porsche?

Mtrboatvr6

Yeah, they are only 10 inch wide for winter 265 rear sizing. They would need some spacers to make them "look" right.

I have a set for sale

I ran them for maybe a month with my NB wheels. Decided to not drive my car in winter and sold the winter wheels/tires.

If you or anyone buying your wheels wants to buy a set, here are the details for the spacers I have:

H&R Trak+ DRA Series 30mm Wheel Spacers - 14x1.5 / 5x130

They bolt onto the hub.

I'm looking at winter set up options and they are bleak - very limited tire choices.

Pirelli Winter snowsport - seems old. Kumho just came out with wintercraft WP71's - they score in the bottom half of all tests, but they are new as of April 2016. From limited tests, it looks like so so new designs and compounds are better than the older tires. Opinions? Anyone else out there have a winter set up. If you're selling in the PNW - PM me please.

Forgot, R18, 10" in the back. Off of standard C2.

I ended up ordering new Blizzaks through Tire Rack and will have them mounted to my twists.

If you want to run a 10 inch rear (which opens up some tire options and allows a narrower winter tire, which is more desireable in snow anyway), but don't like that sunken look of the narrow body, you can do custom offsets from Forgestar. They are reasonably priced for a winter set that is going to get exposed to rough elements, and they are quite light. They aren't hubcentric and require centering rings, which isn't awesome, and also require a non-conical bolt (it's inconvenient to have two sets of bolts kicking around and you need to remember to keep at least 5 of the oem conical ones in the frunk in case you need your spare!).

I am running Bridgestone Blizzak LM-32 mounted to Forgestar F14s, in the following specs:

Front: 18x8.5 ET44, 235/40 18
Rear: 18x10, ET25, 275/35 18

I am also told that this tire size will fit on the stock Twists, although front will be meaty and rear is stretched to the point of being questionable. 11 inch wheels are really at the very outer limits for a 275.

Yep. Running the same tire on an 11 inch rim. Didn't want to deal with spacers. 275 doesn't look right but it's still within specs. Pretty loyal to Blizzak and it's the widest they make in an 18. Wheels at the paint shop getting powder-coated black to try and disguise the stretch.

WindS

Thanks, I'm putting these on a set of 18" rims from a 2005 C2. I'm assuming 10" in the back, as the standard size is 265. I assume I'll need spacers to make this look right. Same as recommended above?

WindS

For the Blizzak, they are not offering the 235/40R18 or even a 225/40R18. They got the 275/35R18. It's crazy trying to find a matching set.

WindS

They do offer a 215/45R18 that matches the diameter of the 275/35R18 and revolutions at 813 and 815 respectively. I'm not crazy about 215's up front.
