I have fallen for a set of Voxx wheels that are only available in the following sizes (for my desired tire widths) and I am wondering if they will fit, even with spacers, on my 86 911 narrow body. I know that 8" or 9" rims with the size tires I like will fit but that was on a 17" rim and slightly more positive offset (53mm).

Here are the specs:

Front 18x8 - 45mm offset
Rear 18x9 - 45 mm offset

I would like to put a 225 up front and something around a 275 in the rear.

Any help would be appreciated.

P.S. I have already checked the instant-g web page and he does not list 18" for the earlier 911s.

i have an 83 cab. i do not no what yr yours is but i have 18 on my car. i do not know the size of the tires but i had to get my front fenders rolled and put 1/4" spacers on the back so it would not rub the oil lines and works good. but if i were to do it again i would go with 17 so i could lower the car a little bit

 

sorry i see you have an 86 so they sould go on but put the spacers on or you will rub the oil line on the passanger rear if it is the same as an sc. you may not have to roll the front but i had rubbing on the passnager front.

 

Thanks J Brown,

I forgot to do a search before posting this question and found that this issue has been raised before. Since I am thinking about either a supercharger or upgrade to a 3.6 I am going to need as much rubber out back as I can get, probably 275s and I would like 225s out front. This means I will need 8 and 9 front and rear respectively and I just don't think there will be enough room. I will just have to look for a fiske, kenesis or bbs rim that will fit. Unfortunately these rims are a little too rich for my blood right now.

Are there other more economical rims that you are aware of for Porsches?

Thanks
