Default '82 928S Wheel question????????

I've been looking for wheels for my 928 for quite a while now and the ones I really wanted are a bit out of my price range considering I'm getting a turbo kit later this year. I was wondering if these wheels http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-PO...65583517QQrdZ1 (19") or http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/18-Po...65817763QQrdZ1 (18") would fit my 1982 928 euro S?
Will i need spacers?
Which wheel size is the better choice; 18 or 19?
If anyone has these wheels currently on their 928 can they post a photo of their car so I can see what it looks like in case I get buyers remorse.


Thanks

No hope what so ever at front without very large hammer. ET should be 20mm larger.

Check out this website:

http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

Punch in your current and proposed wheel specs and the calculator tells you where the extra width goes.

From everything I've read- you want at least a 55 mm offset (ET 55) in the front. The rear is much easier to work with by adding or removing spacers.

Are they the same wheels as the avatar of Scott M?

If so what size wheels/spacers did you get?
