Sorry, I know this has been asked a million times.. but im sure i can get a quick yes or no and not have to bother with searching for something to match this perfectly. I want to make sure this will work before I go blow my money.

Those are typically used on late offset cars as you know. You would need something like 1" spacers. You can get 40 or 45 offsets for the rears that would need less of a spacer.

 

You will definitely need some spacers to make those fit. By the time you buy the spacers you are often better off just buying wheels that fit properly. That is especially true if you want to autocross or track the car at all. Most sanctioning bodies and clubs won't let you run adapters/spacers unless you're doing so with longer studs.

 

I dont plan on autocrossing or racing the car.. it is just going to be a once in a while driver. I am running cup II's on the car right now, but forgot what spacers I have on. Which spacers do I need to make these fit?

I used to have a set of 17" Mille Miglia 993 Cups on the 86. The weird thing was the offset was stamped as being a late offset number but they had cast-in spacers to fit the early offset cars. The rears weighed more than 2 cookie cutters so they were sold long ago.

 

Yea thos are probably the same ones.. probably a good thing that IM getting them off the car. I still really need an answer though before i commit to buying these.

please let me know what spacers i have to have and if these will definetly fit.

86, nominal sizes 7"@23mm offset, 8"@10mm offset.
To put the outer face of the wheel at the same spot would be:
8.5"@41mm, 10"@35mm so you'd need 11mm and 30mm spacers to keep the outer face in the same position.
You'd also need to make sure that the wheels would clear the suspension if they grew inboard .75" front and 1" rear.
If you put the biggest tires on these rims that fit you might have to mess with camber or stiffer than stock suspension to the tires to clear when cornering.
You might have to get longer studs for the spacers to work.
I'd pass on them.

 

Yea ive deicded to pass on these wheels and look for some 17's
