    OK so I decided to go with the Porsche twist for my 2004 .:R and needed some input on adapter sizes. I'm pretty sure on what tire sizes I will be running. The look im shooting for is flush with little to no POKE I want my Front to sit pretty flush I can deal little tuck as well poke but want mostly FlUSH. So any and all input is welcome. Also which lugs i should get since im ordering the adapters from adaptec. Specs on the wheels are:

    18x8.5 et52 (F) with a 25mm adapter
    18x10 et47 (R) with a 35mm adapter

    here you go before you spend a lot of money on spacers, adapters, wheels and tires. check out these to sites first

    http://www.willtheyfit.com/

    i hope this helps in finding your answers. messing around with the numbers on the first site looks like 195/40/18 looks good on both size rims.

    There are a few threads in the mk4 forum dedicated to answering these questions. Personally, this is my favorite since its pictures showing how each specific offset looks

    Stock wheel bolts are 14x1.5x28 so just add your adpater size plus 28 and thats what you need(20mm adapter would equal a 14x1.5x48 bolt). Stock wheel bolts are ball seat meaning that they are somewhat rounded. Most aftermarket wheels use conical seat wheel bolts. You MUST use the correct type for your wheel or they will back out. IDK if Porsche are ball or conical.

    EDIT: Okay Im dumb If youre runnin spacers use above info.


    Just buy these
