I have a lot of room on the outside with no spacer, the inside is closer, but remember I have GTS rear quarters on my 87.

I bet I can put 335's on the back with spacers.

I can make a measurement of them tomorrow if you want it.

The offset is 57/Front, 51/Rear.
Porsche part numbers 99736213600, 99736214200

I am running 225/40/ZR18 and the rears are 295/30/ZR18

It drives very well, I was worried about the front offset a bit, but it seems fine.

That car looks real nice!

I just bought a set of these wheels too, except I have to get the 10" rears, no GTS fenders.

My '83 S with 16" 3pc Simmons.


Haven't seen anyone else with these in 61 pages...

I bought the car with them on, they're a bit scuffed on the edges, not my doing.

They suit the era pretty good i think, looking forward to some shiny new shoes soon

And yes, this thread rocks!

Jarrod, Jarrod,......... Jarrod.... That Porsche valve cap is off by 43 degrees.

Everyone knows the top of the crest should be in line with the center cap. You MUST tap the inner threads until the cap spins down tight and the crest is in proper alignment. You are slipping. Get with it Man!

Agreed, but shouldn't they be hand painted to match the center caps? Kind of takes away from the whole theme of things.
