I would like to swap my 86 spindles for the late offset 1987 and up. Is it going to affect my camber?, will the 87 spindles bolt on into my A-arms or do I need to change my A-arms. What about the rears is it a PITA job.

Check out from the pic the difference between old and new ET rear:

Thanks Olli, it seems that the 87 spindles are much bigger. The reason why i want to change them is because I want to use the late offset wheels. Can I use spacers safely instead of changing the spindles?

Ian Carr

Yes, spacers will work just fine. I was going to do a spacer set up but i decided it wasn't worth it for me. I have the spacers needed for the rear wheels if you decide to go for it.

Edit: Lart i think that the bottom one is the 87+ spinndle. The larger one is a 86'

Ian , so I don't need spacers for the front. I am trying to fit the CCW 17X9.5F and 17X10.5R wheels that came with Ieatv8s's car.

Ian Carr

No, you need spacers all around. The rear needs 28 mm spacers (i have 27 mm) and the front needs some smallers one. There is a website that Danno made that has all of these spacer sizes and what you need. Whos got it?

Also 10.5 inch wheels might be a push in the rear. Largest i have seen put back there with out modification is 10. 9.5 up front will be a squeeze too.

Here is the link for the spacers.

Ian, I am trying to fit the wheels on the picture to my 86" 951. They are ccw's 9.5 front and 10.5 rear. I wonder if it can be achieve.

You can do the fronts, the backs may need to have the fenders rolled a bit, but it can be done. What do your old wheels look like?

lart951

I have 17" cup I 9.5 with 275's

ehall

so...like what are you going to do with them mi amigo?

ehall

also, where did you get the plug for your rear wiper?

lart951

I made it myself.

About the tires, do you think I can fit the ccw's with spacers without rolling the fenders? Do you want to buy the cup 1's, they are bling bling

ehall

it will be close. I'm only unsure about the sapcers. You'll have to see for yourself. I think they will fit the rears. Yes I may be interesteed in those wheels. We'll talk more once you get closer to knowing what you are doing. Just put me first on the list.
