help needed with porscheshop.co.uk wheels
hi everyone
i am a bit lost with a product i bought from the here
http://www.porscheshop.co.uk/acatalo...id_wheels.html
they told me that this is a drop replacement on a 86.5
the bodyshop where my car is being done asked me the offset of the fronts on these
looks like i will have to loose the rear spacers to fit these , but i am a bit lost about the fronts , now i keep reading that the correct offset on an 86.5 is et65
.are these correct ?does anyone have these fitted
best regards andre

What offset do your new front wheels have?
ET60 was the lowest the factory fitted to the car, ET55 seams to be the lowest acceptable on general consensus from reading the various reports before you start getting into potential geometry induced stability problems, ET52 seams common on the cup replica wheels.

Sometimes a ET50 will work I think, but that is REALLY cutting it close...but as long as you don't FULLY compress the suspension you are ok... one big bad bump and you not only have a possible broken wheel, but also fender damage... I think my fronts (they were 938 offsets) are 50's...

My front 7,5" Mille Miglias have ET 52 and I have to say I find the car stable and nice to drive. My girfriends 951 on original CS wheels feels much more unstable on rough roads.
