Three Wheelin'
These came on the car but also got the original Fuchs. I am planning on getting them refurbished but still in 2 minds whether to fit them or go for some 17s in aftermarket. The superlites have grown on me though

could you give me some rim widths, rim offsets and whether your car is early/late offset or an 86 951? Thanks! Particularly interested in the setup where you use 295s

I can pull the widths ETs later this evening, but for now I can add it is an 87.. IIRC the wheels are 7 and 9.5 widths.. not sure about the offsets.. and no spacers are being used..

seeing as I bought those wheels and rubber off you...
while yours was on blocks...
after you blew up the engine...
before you sold it off...
Hows the range rover treating you these days?

OK, double checked...
Front 18x8 et50 245/35/18
Rear 18x10 et65 295/30/18
With BFG KDW2 rubber on all 4 corners. GREAT summer tires, great wet weather traction.. not so much if temps fall below 60 degrees...
Significantly lowered my car, and subsequently had to roll all 4 fenders, and clearance the inner fender liners of the rears to eliminate rubbing.

I was thinking this would be a good idea, but maybe with more details?
e.g. copy and paste:
Car: (early/late)
Wheel manufacturer & model:
Wheel dimensions & offset, front:
Wheel dimensions & offset, rear:
Tyre Specs:
Spacers front: (if applicable)
Spacers rear: (if applicable)
Suspension modifications: (if applicable)
Guard modifications: (if applicable)
Because too much information about wheels can never be a bad thing
And may I add, your car looks great!
Post update:
Car: '83 944
Wheel manufacturer & model: Sport Classic II Replica
Wheel dimensions & offset, front: 18x8.5 ET47
Wheel dimensions & offset, rear: 18x9.5 ET47

Spacers front: stock
Spacers rear: approx 1 inch

I found the 2 piece bbs porsche 996 rims finished in white but not sure if they'll go with silver.

Must get less cop attention with out them P plates, This year is my 2nd year. Nah we're not allowed at all. i was actually looking for a 944 n/a but i couldn't find any well kept ones and in the end i came across this one i've got now with a real good upkeep history by the PO so i bought it. You cannot get much more power out of an n/a unless you spend big $$$$ you've got a really nice example, i personally wouldn't get rid of it.
