Hey guys,

Posted a thread up a bit ago, heres what I came up with on the wheel specs -

They are actually 17" kinesis supercup wheels and these are my measurements

Fronts: 17/8.5 ET50
Rears: 17/10 ET55

These are pretty much estimations however they should be in that range, from what i would say is 50-57 offset

So I have been watching for spacers on ebay, I can pick up a kit of 1.25 inch spacers for all around, would that be fine without any rubbing and would that be optimum?

By the way: It is an 85.5 N/A so early offset

Thanks!

and my car is early offset

and my spacers are about 1"

I have some spacers for late offset at home. I can check the size when I get there and let you know if you want them.

Please do! Thanks!

Bump?

I just have 2 and they are half inch but they both have studs

the picture that shows the backside of the rim, it looks like there is a crack in it.

I'm don't know too much about spacers, whats wrong with them having studs? What wheels were you running and which car? Maybe 1/2 inchers will be good because of how wide these are, im sooo confused.

roman944

sorry I can't find pics that I had of the spacers, but they bring out wheels so they sit right in line with the fender, I'm pretty sure they are 1 1/8" or something weird like that, they are H&R TRAK ones

I meant to put "and" instead of "but." Sorry. They aren't on my car now as i have late offset and i got them for my early offset car and just never used them.
I can take some pics tomorrow for you.

zblowfish

Please do, just want to know what I should run, I've gotten totally random numbers from everybody

dv8nxs944

Yeah, I'm not too sure what you should run but I just happened to have a set and thought you might be interested in them.

Update:

Threw them on, checked them out, looks like I need 1 and a quarters all around if I want it perfect, just ordered them and am currently waiting on them.

2 tires aren't holding air properly, i'll need to get those checked out to see if i need something for them.

roman944

sounds about right, that's right about what mine are

Err bad news, tires are officially shot. (I was told this when I bought them but I was still optimistic)

Looking online for some affordable performance tires (I only will run these in the summer), has anybody ran Sumitomo HTR-ZIIIs on their Porsche? I am looking at a set of 255/40/17s for the rears, Y rated, I am planning on using these for daily use, no track use. I've read reviews on BMW forums and they are actually supposed to be a great tire for the price.
