Skrilla01 if you are talking to me then all you need to do is go to the "LACL $3600" thread and follow along there... more pics than you could ever want of EURO85 just waiting for you...

T, I DO LOVE those FM5's! I always have! In fact they were sort of the inspiration for my CLW's in black and red... here is Mark Robinson's car with FM5's that really made me think about what I was going to do w/ the wheels on EURO85...

Looks great though! The painted center caps really "tie the room together"
...similar to the "The Dude's" rug, man.
Looks great!

I recently purchased a set of 18" BBS Le Mans for my 964 Carrera 2. But the dimensions would actually work on a 928 S4/GT/GTS.

See attached pics.





Dimensions are 8½" ET56 and 10" ET65

Greg,

The rears took awhile to "fit", the fenders had to be rolled and the front inside of the body massaged.

The fronts rub a little at full lock, but not much of an issue. I don't have the exact offsets in front of me.

It was worth it gaining the mechanical grip. Did you notice the "Big Reds" out back....those are 993 TT calipers and rotors on the rear
to balance my Big Reds on the front.

Ken

Ken, are those the fronts or rears off the 996TT that you have out back? Do you have a write-up on how you did it (any custom work)? That would be a worthwhile mod for just about everyone!

NICE!
