aha! so thats near enough to the 43mm i measured as well. ive updated the car again with some 8" rims from a 944 turbo with a 53mm offset so i needed to change the spacer again to something like 32mm.

should be perfect drnick. Technically, the 17" TT's were exactly on the money, 32mm spacer, 8.5/50et, 255/40. We did an ever so slight fender roll just to be safe, since I wasn't sure if under hard cornering the tire sway might kiss the fender.
52et would have been prefered, so your 53et's should be...especially with an 8.0 instead of my 8.5 wheel.

I hope I can find a smokin deal soon on some of these spacers. I keep finding them way too close to $100.00. I'd like to find them down in the $50.00 range

Scott I've always loved the way yours looked. Did you have to roll the fenders? I gotta get a set of 8" rears. To find them polished already would really be awesome.

Does anyone know what lenght beyond the axle/spindle is safe? i.e. at what point/offset will abnormal wear on the bearing or cracking of the axle occur? I can vaguely remember Porsche publishing a warning about wheel sizes but I've never seen anything on maximum offset.
