Another wheel fit question
I traded a set of 11 inch 996 turbo twists rims for a set of 993 turbo twists in 10 x 18 ET65 rears and 8 x 18 ET52 fronts. I was going to use 225/40 in front and 265/35 in rear. However the wheel place in Cali sent me the proper rears but 7.5 x 18 ET 50 fronts instead. Will they fit ok without spacers or should I wait until the 8 x 18 ET 52 become available? I don't want to powder coat these rims only to find out the won't fit... Thanks!

I would wait for the 8 inch front wheels and use 235/40 18 tires

Unfortunately the tires are already bought. Will I need spacers for the 7.5 rims? I just found out that the 8 inch rims that I was supposed to get are damaged and I will have to wait three weeks to get them. I don't think I will be doing business with Wheel Dynamics again anytime soon.

Definitely don't need / want spacers to fit them. Spacers decrease the rim offset which you don't want to do. The 7.5" wide ET 50 wheel will work fine with the 225X40 tire.

Thanks for the replies. Dealing with trades/second hand rims needing refurbished is a pain. Hopefully all will fit and my wheel issues will be over. Now on to the interior!
