Default Check out the wheels i picked up today

Hello everyone i just picked up these wheel today 225-40-18 (18x8) 52mm and 285-30-18 (18x10) 58mm . They will be going on an 86 black 944T, what do you think? I know i will need spacer for these wheels and if i did my rearch right, 31mm spacers all around should be enough. If anyone is running this setup on an 86, let me know what spacers you are using.
Thanks again

Calipers are done, the car is on jacks waiting for fornt suspension/brakes and oil pan gasket (this is going to be fun).

First951: Very nice and good for you, they look sweet. But it is funny, for I do have to agree with ibkevin, you have a whopping 97 posts since May 2003? I'm sorry, I just find it funny. Where have you been all this time?

Seriously, best wishes with the wheels.

Nice wheels. Make sure you buy the right spacers. Itīs not the same but i use 8 and 9 on
my 86 car with 52 offseth. In front i use 21mm spacer and 43 in the back. In front i have
some mm to go on and in the back itīs right on the spot.
Itīs not an bad idea to test different spacers if you could.
