If you look at the comments section at the bottom of the eBay add the seller lists the offsets at some crazy numbers like 170mm and 200mm or something like that. Doesn't seem to understand how to measure them.

that might be backspacing, and that would be 8" and 6.5" which might work if the fronts are less than 8.5" width.

if those are K18s, as they look to be, they are worth near 3-4K. What is a K2?
anyway, they are the standard K18 3 piece wheel . very nice stuff.
1000 bucks with tires would be a steel.

looks like the front is 8.5 and the rear is 11.5. (kind of hard to belive)
but, if the front is 8.5" width and the backspacing is 6.5", then since we know that the 9.5" width of our 928 front kinesis is perfect with not much room for outside position at 8" backspacing, so with a 1" width narrower rim and 6.5' backspacing, that would end up with a rim that is out 1" too far at the sides. rear looks good though. Although, it sure looks like a shallow offset from the pics, so I would want to see a pic of the REAL backspacing. the fronts might be ok.

My precious!
We will see if we were all right about the offsets once they arrive.

Does it have the "Do It Yourself" manual transmission, or the superior "Fully Equipped by Porsche" Automatic Transmission?

better do much more of a fender move-out, than I did here! ![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)
(and my modification accomodated the full 1" you will see, i.e. agressive rollling of the fender, AND, moving the fender .5" outward, AND, a 305 tire. with a 275 up front, only a half an inch was needed. (with 8" backspacing on a 9.5" rim).
good luck!

Rog called me the day before it ended to make sure he and I didn't get in a bidding war again. Good catch Rog.

those hoops look pretty thin, so I dont know how they could be 6.5" backspacing, on a 8.5" wheel.
Im guessing they are 7" backspacing and they will be fine. If 6.5, they will be .5" too wide, which might be dueable, with a smaller than 275 tire, like a 255 or smaller. I dont know where i came up with the 1" of a problem. sorry about that, if I scared you. 1" narrow rim, all at the backspacing would be 8.5" rim with 7" backspacing, so even 6.5" will only be .5" off. you should be just fine! nice grab!
