Im sorry but early cars have the best offest.

You cannot beat an 86' 951 with some nice rims, the deep offset allows for deeeep dish rims, which is feaking hot.
And I love Fuchs

Theoretically it could be done, but you would have to lose the ABS and get all the early offset control arms etc. Not worth it IMO. You could always go widebody.

+1000 for early offset 951's, that 86 deep dish, especially on the rears, really makes the car.

86 951 (not mine) with 17in Fikse wheels - check the deeper dish on the rears -

It would be @ a 1" ( 25.4 mm) spacer you'd need for early car with late offset.

the ET on the d90s are 52.3 all around, the rears are 16x8, and the fronts are 16x6

that one inch spacer seems to stick out to me in the front alot when i borrowed my friends spacer...maybe it just the tire its a 225 in front, maybe i should get 215?? i think its just me though...im picky

I am sure Lindsey Racing could make you some up. Looks like they can make any offset and size from factory stock fuchs wheels. Here is their P2 Wheel.

16 or 17 inch Fuchs replicas/late offset = $$$$

But dang, they'd look sexy.
