Brad,
The 285's w/o the spacers are a tighter fit on the inside. I could probably run some .25" spacers and then probably even move up to 295's...it can be done. In my cars case though it was hit in the rear at some point, so I can't before that the rear fender lips sit in exactly the right spot like they did when the car was new. One side seems closer to the wheel than the other side, so I am guessing at least ONE of the sides is off a bit!

I was sold on these Lightweights when JWise posted this pic of then Marc's car. I think they are the best looking factory wheels which has a taste of the phone dials with those curved spokes. They go perfectly with the "curve" theme of the 928. Dan needs to get these back on the car.
