Will these wheels fit my car?
My car ('87 944):
Front & Rear:
215/60 VR15 Tire
7Jx15 Wheel
159.9mm Backspacing
52.3mm Offset
The wheels (968):
Front:
205/55 ZR16 Tire
7Jx16 Wheel
143.9mm Backspacing
55mm Offset
Rear:
255/50 ZR16 Tire
8Jx16 Wheel
153.6mm Backspacing
52mm Offset
How will these fit (any rubbing)?
How bad will my car understeer with the 10mm smaller tires up front (205) and 40mm wider tires in the rear (255)?
I imagine the rears will fit fine, but it's more the fronts that have me worried. I'm pretty sure they would fit, but will such a narrow tire give me problems?
I already figured out the spedo inacuraccy and it will be 3.5% too slow (i.e. 60mph on speedo = 62.1mph on radar).
