Default 18" Hallow spokes

I see a lot of 928's out there with 18" hallow spoke turbo twists on them. I kno there not the most ideal offsets for are cars, but can those in the kno please chime and and confirm these will fit on an 87 s4 and are rear spacers needed.

Front Wheel: Size: 8.0Jx 18 E50 offset

Rear Wheel: Size: 11Jx 18 E45 offset

No bashing Please, just the fact of yay or nay

Thanks

MJ

The 45 offset with 11" width will stick out quite a bit.

Default A bit of Homework Help

They'd stick out a lot on the front...j/k
I was thinking that if you had a car that came with spacers and pulled them, that helps. But:

I just mounted 993 turbo twists 7.5 x 18 ET52 and 10 x 18 ET65. They fit great with 225/45 and 265/35, no problems at all.

No issues on my 86.5 and Tony had no issues on his 87. After trying a few different wheels, they are my favorite for keeping clean and I think they look great on the Shark

As for the front bearing fitting issues, all you have to do is flatten the bearing caps. It does not induce a problem.

The bearing mod is pretty easy. They are the best looking and easiest to clean option for the 928. IMHO. I don't think you can really appreciate the TT's until you see them in person. They match the sleek lines of the 928 perfectly. The C 111's would be a great wheel to.
