going back tot he dual drilled wheels from g35 to new 335i... offsett is 20mm on the G coupe and 35mm on sedan.... my coupe wheels will have no chance to fit on 335i....Fu**. the guy must have looked at the sedan measurments, but did give me the right bolt pattern on dual drilling. 20mm off set on 8.8 / 9.5 20's will stick out like swampers am I right?

I believe so, but you do have more room on a sedan than the coupe though... Probably a no-go.

I believe LongTran Dispatched a Couple of Sherpa's with the Wheels earlier this week. So Hopefully they should be here today or early next week. New Skins are at the Race shop waiting so I am good to go...

And getting giddy.

Excuse my ignorance. WTF is a Sherpa?

Wikipedia Definition:

Quote:

The term 'sherpa' (the preferred spelling with a lower case first letter) is also used to refer to local people, typically men, employed as porters or guides for mountaineering expeditions in the Himalayas. They are highly regarded as experts in mountaineering and their local terrain, as well as having good physical endurance and resilience to high altitude conditions. However, a sherpa is not necessarily a member of the Sherpa ethnic group.

However my Term was used in Jest, but I was using it to describe the Strength and ability to haul HUGE loads over long distances that the Sherpas possess.

+20 in the rear with a skinny tire could fit.

+20 up front, no way.

A sherpa crossing and interstate would be interesting.

gonzo · 08-17-2007, 03:53 PM

Then I see a lot of sherpas living under overpasses here.

That's because they cannot make it across the interstate.

20mm up front will never fit..... 20mm in the rear will go, but you need to roll ur fenders.... actually now that i think about it, 20mm up front would fi with some rolling of your front fenders... i have 26mm up front on a 19x8 wheel and it doesnt rub at all...
