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).

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.

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.

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?
