Id LOVE a set of these with a high enough front offset...Any chance this could happen?

Yes, as a matter of fact we are currently working on a mold at this time, we are going to bring them with 8" and higher off-sets...

The pattern will vary slightly however the same concept.... Hang in there guys, give me maybe 6-12 months. We are designing a lighter weight wheel and 18" sizes that we will be worth the wait....

Excellent news. Keep in mind most later model stock fitments were 7.5" ET65 fronts, although the 928 version of the OEM Club Sport wheel was an 8" ET60. As you know, the wider the wheel, the more offset is needed to keep the geometry close to what the engineers intended. Some of us are running Cup II's in 8" ET70 or even the 9" ET70 with good results, and Porsche even made an uber rare Cup I "Racer" for the 928 in 9.5" ET 68. Numerous owner reports suggest ET58 is about as low as we can go before undesirable side effects such as tramlining and sticking out beyond the fender appear. Here's a couple of shots showing how well a 9" ET70 with 245/40 fits:

More than likely there will not be any 60+ et. in the front, we are looking more like 8" (et. 50)

I can live with that, as I'm currently running the same now with no issues.

Yes, we have tested this already and also compatibility between other models is going to be key when building new wheels for older vehicles.

We are working to have this one cover a wide range, or sizes, we may even offer up a custom off-set if there is enough orders to warrant this change.

Just trying to work on the basic logistics of the molds right now...



Who said older Porsche cars can't rock cool wheels too????

Any word on when these wheels with the 928 friendly offsets will be available?
