Here we go again. For the life of me, I can never figure out the offsets.

Will these Carrera rims fit my '91 GT:

FR: 8x18et50
RR: 10x18et65

Thanks

Kiet-
You should download my wheel fitment calculator (link in my signature).

But the short answer is yes, they will fit, but the fronts are not ideal. It's genereally recommended that you want to have a 55mm offsets on the fronts. 50mm is the minimum recommended. The fronts will stick out ever so slightly (about 2.5mm) but I would not be concerend about it - I've run 47mm before and they worked fine.

The rears should fit fine, but they're gonna look a bit funny becasue they will be inset too far. There is a slight possibility that they will rub in the inboard side. If this happen you can put a ~20mm spacer to bring them out. A 47mm offset would fit better.

Hope this helps.

Thanks Andrew. I can live with 2.5mm stick out front and have no problems getting 20mm spacers out back.

Hate to pass on a good deal of $650 for OEM Carrera wheels in very good condition. Thanks again.

To run the wider fronts with the 50mm offsets, and depending on what tires you choose, you will want to make sure that the cars is up high enough to keep the fenders from rubbing on dips or hard corners.

Try this site:

Giving stock and upgrade size to it will result text which explains how much further out or/and in new wheel and tire will be. Only problem in it is that site can't understand above 55mm offsets which are common in 928.

These were special ordered for a 911, Signature Gembala's Lemans 8X18 47 offset on fronts and 10X18 52 on rears. Running Toyos Proxo TR1-235 40s, and 285 35s. Definitely get the front height correct, and run stiffer springs/shocks..no problem with mountain runs and autocrosses. Ed M

Thanks Ryan, I like it. Ed M

So basically, once the fenders get some dirt on them you'll never notice.
