yep spacers take the offset of the boxter wheels minus the 23mm offset for stock 86 and you need a spacer the thickness of the difference. Some of the 84's and such had factory wheel spacers on the rear that are the correct thickness. Also see danno's racerx site he has an article there titled sizus maximus all about wheel sizes etc.

the rear wheels are 8.5 inches, i want them to really fill out the rear wheelwell, i dont like it when the wheel is more in than the fender flares, i want them to line up, should i get an even larger spacer than the 27mm to make them fill it out better?any suggestions on size?

eh i basically stole these wheels, they were dirt cheap, i could turn around and sell them for twice as much, and if i cant find cheap spacers...i'll make some there is always a cheap solution.
For now i am wondering about size, if i roll up the rear fender there, size spacer should i get for the rear 255s to fill it out completely?
