Default Wheel & Tire Question

Hello Guys, I have a chance at purchasing a set of wheels at a good price and i wanted to know if this set up would work on 86 944t. 18x8-45mm (225/40/18)and 18x9-45mm (265/35/18), i beleive to get it right i would need 22mm spacer all around, but how bad would it look without spacers?
Thanks again

Depending on the spacer, they aren't often ideal. Better to get correct offset wheels in the first place. IMHO

you may need spacers in front depends on offset. I am running 295/30/18 in the rear without spacers

Your stock offset for an 86 951 is 23.3 mm so you will be needing 1" ( 22-23 mm) spacers, I think. Lot's of guys run spacers this big for street. Personally, I found that excessive spacers on early offset cars are bad voodoo for race cars.
