Will 17x9 ET47 / 17x7.5 ET52 fit a 1984 - 1994 911? Maybe they would be too big in diameter for these years (cosmetically anyway)? The reason I'm asking is that I just sold my 996 and will be searching for a 1984-1989 911 or a 964 and need to decide if I should keep these Cup 3 wheels or sell them.

James,

I believe the correct offset for 1984-1989 911 wheels is ET19 front and ET23 rear ...
The 964's have a different offeset than the 911's !
I think Bill Verburg posted a chart somewhere,do a search !

There's nothing cosmetically wrong with running 17's on earlier 911'a as i'm currently using 17 inch Fikses and 17 inch Cup 1 replicas as track wheels on my 89 ...
There is a greater choice of tires in the 17 inch sizing !

Cheers !
Phil

Thanks Phil. Here is the chart: http://members.rennlist.com/1976c38/index.html

It looks like my wheels won't fit a 1984-1989 911, but may work on the 964.

1984 tp 1994 covers to different chassis
911 chassis thru 1989, 964 chassis from 1989 to 1994
17x9 ET47 / 17x7.5 ET52 fit fine on a 964 chassis, see my response in you other thread

and can be used on 911 chassis w/ wheel spacers

For the 911 chassis, how thick of wheel spacers would be needed? Thanks for your reply in the 964 forum.

I'm not sure which AC 911 I'm going to get, hence my question for both 911 and 964. I just sold my 996 so the hunt begins.
