There are quite a few listers running et50 wheels up front with a wider rim. Those should fit. What size is the tire?

I'm running et56 8" front / et57 10" rear on my 81. The 86.5+ cars can run a smaller offset (like et50) due to the narrower track width.

Stan,
Are these Ebay wheels replicas of yours? They have the same sizes and offsets.

Not sure why these would not work, all you should have to do is put a wider tire on the front, replace the 205 with a 225.

And for the backs add a 21mm bolt on spacer.

I had the same size wheels on a previous 928 s4 and that's what I did, anyway...
