man i know im gona piss someone off asking this....

well im sure you guys seen these pix before! i personally like the rims and i know this guy is running an adapter like i think bippus brother was on his Q with the 7 series rims. Now what id like to know on this is what are the specs on these rims and adapters? IF ANYONE KNOWS??  so lets say the rims are a 25 OS and the adapter is a 7 does that make it a 32 os? im sorry for asking such a stupid question but somewhere i read someone was arguing the offset would be lower because of the adapter.  im still a noob so forgive me :( id figure the offset would be higher.

+25mm offset and adding a 7mm adapter means +18mm offset (effective). Offset is indeed lowered when adding spacers/adapters.

high offset = wheels closer to the car
low offset = wheels further away from the car

I don't know the specs of those wheels/adapters. But to answer your offset question, as you push the wheel outwards the offset decreases. So hypothetically a +25mm offset wheel with a 7mm spacer would make the effective offset +18.

ok kool i new the info above about on what red said but for some reason i was getting so confused with what the differ would be with the spacer! other then that what u guys think of the wheels? i know it might not be alot of peoples cup of tea but i like it :)

I think they look good.

thats one of my fav 2gen gs's.

yeah, very nice wheels. but i doubt the adapter is a 7mm, 7 mm could barely get a new stud mounted onto it. chances are its at least 20mm and up.if it is indeed 25mm for the wheels, than chances are the new offset with the adapter are something along the lines of +5 and down to negatives. goodluck. autthentic m6 wheels are not cheap, and if i remember correctly, the rears are something like 18*10.5 or something while fronts are 18*9. something staggered.
goodluck

You gotta run a 25mm adapter to clear the lugs/studs of the GS hub.

o those wheels and adapters arnt 25 or 7 i was jus making up a senerio! that is why i asked if anyone kneww the specs of the wheels! also from what i understand i thought they came in 19! there are so many replicas out there i dont know whats real and whats not! if i can find more info on the wheels and adapters imight look into this convo more !!!!

o i forgot to ask how that guy with the 7 series wheel fit his car with that adapter and wheel if u have to run a 25mm adapter? he gots a 7mm spacer

yeah, youll at least need probably a 25mm adapter to cover the studs. as for the size, they actually might just be 19. if you see the lettering 'style' in the header, its usually the knockoffs. goodluck. they are expensive.

you're a dead man

Why won't my car lay out like that? :sad:

the smallest adapter that can be made for a conversion like that is a 17mm. im really suprised no one posted pics of my car.

Those are M5 wheels aren't they?  Or replicas..which there's tons of floating around.

those wheels vary in sizes and offset...if you look on ebay youll see what i mean.

i like it.

[QUOTE=elpresidente;197622]Those are M5 wheels aren't they?  Or replicas..which there's tons of floating around.[/QUOTE]

M6 I think... or as far as I know anyways.

I can get M6 reps here where I work.

yeah m6 pretty sure of it

WOW i've seen that picture 50 times and up untill now I NEVER noticed how they did the lower chrome on that car. That looks [b]GOOD[/b]! note taken.

You can get replica BMW M5/6/7 wheels on ebay for like $900.

I cant see the photos but sounds like the red gs with M6 wheels right ?


I have the 25 mil spacer and and addition 7mil on the right side and a 25 mil spacer on the left , 

wierd but jp fender wasn't correctly measured 

Usually the adapter is 25 right Ron ?

ya my spacers were originally 25mm but i had them shaved to 17mm. I was told by the machine shop that was the safest thickness that it could be shaved down to. i habe not been able to find anything less. if someone finds it please fill me in lol..


oh and the wheels on the red car are from a bmw m6
