Here's a picture of my '86 951 with 16inch DS90s (not the Club Sports) kinda funky picture 'cause my driveway is so twisted... I'll try for a better picture soon -- great site!
Thanks,
CAG4

I finally found a set of Turbo PD's from an '88 951 (16x7 and 16x8, ET 52.3mm) and I'm happy as a clam! 15's are just too small for my taste! My next mission is to find another pair of the 16x8's and run them all the way around.

Where is this site? Can't find it & would like to see what else there is to spacers for early cars.

Everyone using later wheels on early offset cars: are these the spacers you are using?

Since no one has posted original Fuchs yet... I thought I'd share my early 1985 with factory original rims.

Early offset 23mm with factory spacers in rear.
Front 7x15"
Rear 8x15"
Bridgestone S-03 Pole position 225/50-15s

I just added the rallye stone guards and 951 lower sills. Looking to install an AIR front splitter.

What happened to this great source? Can we get it hosted on Rennlist space?

My old image hosting site (www.evilallianceracing.com) went belly up. I'm planning on uploading all of the old stuff to my own website (www.evilengineering.com), with a healthy number of additions, in the next couple weeks. I have to unpack the desktop, all my stuff is still in boxes.

Here's the RacerX site link that someone asked for 5.5 months ago...

Yup, those are my personal favorites. 996 "lightweights" factory option, I don't know if they came stock on anything or not. About $3500 for an authentic set.

Sam - do you have any pictures of the rear view of my old 951 with those wheels? I can't find them...

And, to clarify, those are fit on an '86 with '89 turbo S front suspension. On that particular combination, they fit without spacers, however, there is some shving of one of the springplate bolts necessary, iirc, to clear properly. What I cannot remember is how much camber I was running on the rear - probably 1.25-1.5 - to clear the tops of the 315s (I think they were 315s?)

Of course, this setup could be run on an '86 with the factory 21mm spacer used up front with longer studs.

Sam, if you have copies of the rear view, or could point me towards them, I'd appreciate it!
