I just purchased a '76 930 and want to dress it up with the largest possible wheel/tire combo, anybody got any suggestions, what will fit without any modifications?

if you want to keep your 930 classic but with meatier setup, go with Mirage or Lindsey 3pc Fuchs

Hi,
I had 11.5 Fikse's on my 88 Turbo with no rubbing issues, so Fikse is correct. Ran 315's. FM10's look awesome. had 9.5 or 10s on front. Steering was a bitrch with 13" wheel and real wide fron tires though.

Kinesis is sending me a test fit wheel.
18x11.5"
7.6" BS and a 34mm offset
my measurements showed i might be able to squeeze a 7.8 maybe a 8" BS in but everytime i loaded the rear suspension the ride height changed...
i was using a really good alignment hoist too, just couldn't get the measurements exact... thus the test fit wheel, i'll be able to see how much caliper padding can be shaved off.
I'll post the measurements once everything is finalized...
Question for you guys...
I was recently informed the Corsa Systems were going to be discontinued and stock in my size is minimal to say the least.
what whould you guys suggest in the 295 to 315 width range for a serious street/light track tire?
I was talking to Roger at the Tire rack about getting into some A048R Yoki's but was wondering if anyone on here had a better recommendation for me.
It rains a lot up here so something like a Hoosier or Victoracer is out of the question! :P

I've got BFG g-force TA KD in 315 and know a number of others with that size as well and we are all extremely satisfied with their performance, however they have been on back order for some time and aren't due until the end of June according to Tire Rack.

I just received my Lindsey 2 piece wheels (9's and 11's). Would 255/40/17's in front and 315/35/17's in the back maintain my original rolling diameter? I'm trying to keep my speedo accuracy. TIA.

I'm using 18 x 9 and 11 with 250/640 and 300/660 Dunlops. The front fenders are rolled. I don't think I could go any wider in the rear towards the inside due to the oil lines, but I might be able to go alittle more on the outside. A 1/2" maybe? After that I would be worried the top of the tire would rub the fender in a good turn at speed due to the car height. The fronts are the same. Maybe another 1/2'' on the outside.
