That looks like a smokin deal even if it didn't have the tires with it.

Wheels and Pirelli tires - hella deal!

Does the offset match the 928s?

To match the center line of the OE wheels on GTS's, the 8" fronts should be et 71, and the 9" rears should be et 55. These will work - just that the offsets are not a perfect match.

Also stock PanAm tires are WAY to tall for a 928... They would need to be removed and sold and new much lower profile tires fitted... (well, I say, that I didn't take a look to see what tires are on the wheels, but if they are stock PanAm tires they will need to go...)

If I could find a set of 15mm negative offset spacers for the fronts, these babies would be on my car in a heartbeat. ;(

I've had these wheels on my '91 $$$$4 for almost three years and I paid $550 for them then. (I think I was the first ever to put Panamera wheels on a 928). The offsets work very well and I believe there are a few others out there with them on now also. The stock tires will NOT work.

Exactly!

I got a set of those wheels and use them as my track wheels. The tires are TOO BIG to even fit in the 928 wheel wells. The rims are a perfect fit.

I sold the tires on CL for... $40. "Get them outta here."

The seller has the offsets reversed. The fronts are 59 and the rears are 53. So, good Doctor, you only need a 9mm negative spacer.

They fit great. I'm running 245s in front (with S4 upper arem) and 275s in the rear. I'd suggest 235s in front with a stock suspension.

Dr Bob, the ball is in your court. Scrap the tires and those wheels are begging for a new home in Glendale.

I have the same wheels that came to me from Calif. Jim C was kind enough to locate for me.

Says 245/50 and 275/45 is that the factory tire size? What does it need to fit?

Looks like Lindsey Lohan just freed up some spare parts including wheels ....

I'm running...

245/40/18
275/35/18

Check the manufacturer's diameters against the classic, stock 225/50/16 tires.

I'm running Hankook Ventus V-12 Evo.......235's on front and 265's on the rear. You can easily go 245 and 275's respectively.
