Default Fat Guy in a little coat ... Fat Guy in a little coat!

Kinda reminds me of the movie Tommy Boy! Looking at them unmounted I started to think......They look way, way too big to fit? The cool thing is I just doubled the value of my car! This is the first 928s...heck the first 928 I have seen with Champion Forged Monolite RG5B rims

Also a Bonus they fit w/no spacers(barely.. 3/8" to the outer fender 1/8" to the inner fender) I know the clearence fron the front tire to fender needs to be fixed and the car needs a front spoiler but...... I will fix these small probs asap!

specs
Champian RG5B 19x8.5 & 19x11 Gloss Black & Machined Polished Lips 5x130 The wheels are mounted on Pirelli Pzero Rosso 235/35/19 & 295/30/19

They look really nice. I'd drive it like I stole it because if your wife finds out how much you paid for them................ Don't even want to think about it.

See... this is exactly why I ask forgiveness, rather than ask permission :-)
...just show up with new toys and well.. "dear, the new wheels are used now.. I can't send them back!"

the wheels look great! you may have to roll the rears it looks close the rear wheels move up and in when you hit a bump, Otherwise you may just get away with some minor pulling out with gloved hands on the rear fenders

Sweet looking. Someone burned all the goodie out of the rear tires.

Hmmm... when the suspension settles I think you are going to find more than a small prob. What did you say the offset is up front? Please let us know about your plan for addressing clearance... smaller tires? lift kit? Sawzall? They don't make inward spacers.

I don't know, Art_Z has some seriously WIDE wheels. His rears look a lot like that and I don't think they rub.


Congrats!

The rears are fine... the fronts are going to be close. the front rimsa are 8.5 wide w/a 53 offset. I may need to do a little fender work. Hard to say because the car is sitting so high.
