Wheel / Tire question
I just purchased a set of Replica Cup I wheels and tires with the following specs:
Front: 7.5 x 17, ET52, 235/45ZR17
Rear: 9 x 17, ET47, 275/40ZR17
Is this a good setup on the 928?
Will i have any changes in the speedo readout?
With these offsets, will I be tram lining all over the place?
Thanks, Eric

Thanks, Dave. Based on what the article says, the ET52 up front is really undesirable. In doing a search, I see a lot of you guys using the 52 front offset. Do you need to adjust the camber to handle the 235 size tire?

Don't know if you solved everything, but just wanted to chime in with my experience.
I just scored on some Cup-1 wheels. ET52 7.5"-17 & ET47 9"-17
Tires I got were 225/45-17 ZR and 255/40-17 ZR. No problem fitting. Better ride than w/stock 16" 7 & 8" wheels. I'm sure you noticed TireRack.com has this exact size wheels and recommended tire size.
Cornering is fine. Didn't have to do anything special during install.
Also, I got good info while at tire store...this place has 800 locations, so I trust the info on the computer screen: (let me know if you need name of store, in case you need more MY details)
(This was for MY89, but I'm sure it will fit any applicable 928 with similar specs)
Recommended sizes:
7" ET46/55 / 205/225
7.5" ET48-52 / 205/225
8.5" ET47/49 / 225
9" ET47/55 / 245/255
9.5" ET52/56 / 255/265/275
10" ET45/50 / 265/275/285

I didn't want to post pictures until my car was clean, but someone asked me to...from a different thread.
