They fit on my S2. Though I don't have spacers installed.

I've had them on my '79, my S4, and my GTS. I love them, but watch out for pot holes as they will bend.

I've got them on my 85, no spacers on the front, and spacers on the rear. I had a hell of a time getting the right spacers to get the rears to fit. They look good, and lots of guys are running them, but frankly, I do not like how the car handles with them. I think they are too big. I'm going to swap back to Cup 1's at some point, which are 17" (and my favorite wheels). YMMV

I have them on two of my cars. For the 86.5, I took the stock 22mm spacers and had them milled down to 15mm, which gave the perfect clearance. I think you can buy 15mm spacers aftermarket though.

That's what I needed on the rears - 15 mm.

Wow, you can get 295s with “slight” rolling? I have rubbing issues with 265s. 🤔. I am planning on switching to 17”s and run a 275, I feel more confident that should work.

He managed to get it to fit on a 928?

I have the exact same fender roller, and for the life of me, I cannot get the thing to line up with the studs, no matter which way I twist it, or hold my mouth.

The issue is not tire size, but not having the proper rim offset.

On the rear of my S4 I'm running 295's with a 5mm spacer and no rolling required - my rim is:

18" x 10.5" x 59mm

The front I'm running 265's with no rubbing/rolling:

18" x 9.5" x 68mm

Those fender rollers fits on various bolt patterns
If you buy, you have to request for 5x130

While not suggesting that you are wrong, it seems strange that the Amazon link says "Fits most cars and light trucks with 4 or 5 lugs", and the order page doesn't offer the choice for different bolt patterns.

The box mine arrived in states that it is suitable for ALMOST ALL 4 & 5 bolt patterns, but it clearly isn't - or I am doing something wrong.

When I get to the point of needing to use it, I'll break out the drill and MAKE it fit.
