928 rims
 

I have a 1980 928 and i am looking to get new rims. Could someone tell me what the bigges size rim i could get? Im looking into some 18” turbo twists. Thought please

The cars are really best on 17".

They are 'wheels', not 'rims'!

18" Carrera staggered lightweights.

They are the cat's pajamas!

:p

Do not agree at all.

The outside diameter of the stock wheel / rim / tire profile is 25". The largest inner diameter tire that can realistically maintain an outside 25" profile is a 19" tire. You'd have to find something in a 255/25-20 in order to fit 20's on a 928, such a tire doesn't really exist, or at lest not with any kind of a tire you'd want on a 928.

The thread Randy linked to is a good place to start. This is mostly personal preference & finding something that will fit your taste and the 928 suspension.

The question is....are you going for function and what the car performs with best or what you think looks best?

I like 18s. Modernize the look a bit but still perform well. I've seen 19s and haven't found a 928 on any kind of 19s that wouldn't have looked better on the same wheel in an 18.

Carrera LWs have a 911 offset of low 50s in the front (I believe) and are not a good fit on the 928. Those were on my car when I bought it and after catching a fender lip in a higher speed turn with a mid-corner bump sold them the next week. Carrera IIIs are the ones you want with a similar look but better offset. 18" Panamera wheels also look good and are a good fit.

Here's mine on 18s. 17s weren't an option for me because of the GTS big black front brakes.

I like 18s. This is a recent BBS set. If I did this setup again, I'd do 18s in the back, as shown, and 17s in the front. You can't really use the fitment tool on the Tire Rack website with a 928. You need to do some research across Porsche platforms to find the wheels that will fit. These are 18x10 et41 rear and 18x8 et50 front

We got a live one.

There is more to selecting a wheel than the size of the rim, grasshopper.

Googlez 'offset'.

Rims
 

I actually like these rims alot, but I already have a BaT member (a fellow 928 seller, whom I will not mention here :icon501:) already dissing these on Jake's old car!
Are these 17" or 18"?
The ones on mine are 18".

Wheel choice is completely subjective. Install what you like - as long as they are the correct OFFSET!

:p

Crap about non original wheels on a highly modified car? If only they could be easily changed ;)

Offset on an 8" wide front wheel for a 928 needs to be at least 57 and low to mid 60s are better for proper suspension geometry and handling.

Don't run 911 wheels with a 50-53 front offset on your 928.

Those twist wheels used to be sold by Tire Rack. They have unusually small lug nut holes and a regular lug nut/bolt socket doesn't fit them - you need a thin walled socket that doesn't have a wheel protection sleeve on it either.

Shameless hijack: More details please. Target > '88 S4

Exactly.

@Dylan_928 Does your car have spoilers (front and back)?

If not, I prefer the phone dials 16", not the 15" that comes with autos or 944s.

Mark Anderson may carry them.

If your '80 has spoilers, 17/18" would look good. 17" may be better.

These wheels belonged to Rob Edwards then BC. I need to take them off the car to get specs.

Rob could prolly tell you off the top of his head.

I think 17's and 18's look just as good (if not better) on cars without spoilers.
