WOW. Really, REALLY like the look of those wheels...

Is there any possibility of them fitting on my '84 S?

Hmmm.

Here is a photoshop mockup of what they would look like on my car....
Before and After...

Hehe.. Of course the brakes are just a pipe-dream...

I really like those wheels, kind of a hybrid between the 997S crab claws and CLW's.

Thanks! But I think I got the diameters off a bit. I think I might have gone to 19"... Maybe 20...

But I really do like the look. Rob, you're right. They do look like a blend of the forks and some CLW. I'm assuming I would need spacers in the rear and possibly some fender rolling to make these work on my '84?

Nope. They'll go right on. 235s in the front and 255 in the rear and you'll be set.

I run on my S4

Front = 235/35/19
Back = 285/30/19

No rub at all and did not need to fender roll...

I'm waiting for pics. I like the design of the wheel itself, but am dubious on how it will look on the 928 itself. Look forward to pics.

Check eBay for Cayman take-offs. And Panamera take-offs. Better than aftermarket wheels and oftentimes cheaper.

Checking... On the rear I'm running 275s on 9" Cayman wheels on my '80. Really close. 265 better. 255, no problems.

If you've got a side view photo of your car, I can photoshop the wheels on for you...
