Man... you guys are giving me too many good ideas...

R - are those FM10's 17's or 18's? What tire size?

Thanks - all cars look fantastic.

Here's my 80 SC that's about 25.25 front and about the same in the rear since I put new bilstein sports, So it needs to be dropped in the rear a tad. I just had Al Reed do the Wheels

You know Derrik... those Cup II's look far better than I thought they would... I just sold a set not long ago - kicking myself for it now.

What size spacer did you need to mount them on an early offset car?

Dave,

Beautiful car and great PICs! This past Feb was my 1st time in Vancouver, great area. Whistler, Best snowboarding in N. America.

Got a '70 911T, same exact color, far from the same exact condition. What ride height are you running?

Michael (stuttgart951),
I have no spacers on the wheels. They just barely fit though. There is a slight polish on the oil line that runs inside the passenger rear fender. A couple of more millimeters and I'd have to re-route that oil line. Up front I get a little interference (driver's side) when taking certain types of corners at the track. No problems at all for street driving.

I'm definitely a fan of the Cup wheels. Not so much the turbo twists.

No 6 cyl conversion yet (damn expensive...) but the itch is still there. It'd be worse if the 2.4L in my car didn't make it 911 fast anyway...

So... you fit factory 993 wheels to an early offset car without spacers? Or are they reproduction/aftermarket wheels?

I think Id like to mount Cups... but unless Im losing my mind I dont think I can mount the late offset Cups on an early offset car and I wary of the strength of aftermarket wheels (car is tracked 3-4 times per year).

Thoughts?

Micheal,
I'll have my wheels off this weekend when I put in the new Ferodo pads and bleed the brakes. I'll look for a part # and offset info. You've piqued my curiosity, and now I want to make sure I'm not unknowingly running aftermarket wheels.

I'll let you know what I find.
