Re: My Z3M's Replacement
Nice to see a grey Porsche, best colour to have.
I have only ever had the air cooled variety, are the newer 911's easier to drive than the older air cooler beasts ?

Re: Dallan's Build Thread...(Pic heavy).
Dude I said that to you before you installed them haha. Stand wheels have such low offset, when you've slammed the fronts, the camber makes the wheels at the top to poke right in like / \ << that lol. So as they go in, the will touch the suspension (whether its thinner or not). On standard rims I h...

Re: WILL THIS FIT????? AHHHH!!!
^^^^ I'd worry alot about the centrebore, if you dont sit concentric on the hub you'll soon know about it ! I'm all for modifying, but the Z3's handling can tramline, doing this looks like it may make this worse and create and evil monster ! James, your car looks good, like the 'stance' as you call ...

No, it means you could knock out the front wheel bearings quickerdallantan wrote:markrnorton wrote:......they will change the loading on the wheel bearing
does this mean it may unbalance the top mounts?
What about the centrebore ? how are you sitting the wheels on the hub ?

What are you doing about the larger centrebore ? do you have spigot rings to correct ?
You may get these on the front, but they will stick out and they will change the loading on the wheel bearing

Re: WILL THIS FIT????? AHHHH!!!
Apart from the offest issues the centrebore of the 5 series wheels is also different.
I cant see them fitting, compounded by your immenenant coilovers

Re: Dallan's Build Thread...(Pic heavy).
No, it isn't like that. (i have had coilovers on my Z3)
the spring platform and spring are lower and longer than the standard shocks, so the clash with the tyre/rim. on a standard wheel you normally need around a 5mm spacer to clear the clash

Re: Dallan's Build Thread...(Pic heavy).
I think you will struggle to get your wheels to fit properly, especially with coilovers on the front. the tyres/wheel rims normally clash with the spring/platform and need spacing.

Its a pig of a job to replace, the motor sits under the inlet manifold and is difficult to get to, plus its held on with those pesky star bolts !
