Yeah i've been stressing over compounds and street tires as well. I'm worried about my upcoming trip thus i'm sticking with the Pirellis instead of going over to the PS2s (only other tire in a 335/35/17). I'm giving up some grip for the reliability aspect of it.

Rob, have you seen the dynamag wheels? I believe the fiske's with all the work you're doing might put you right smack in the middle of that price range. I hear they weigh only 14 lbs and are perfect for the street.
Sorry if this is off track but I thought it might bring something to the table.

Thanks Guns. Now that's what I'm talking about! At first glance you don't see how wide they are too. Is that really running 335's at the rear? WoW. It would cost a small fortune to do though?

I've been trying to get a 315/35 carcass for a trial fit just to see. So far no joy in locating one.

I've searched both threads and can't see (unless I'm being blind) the offsets I would need to run CCW's (or similar) with maximum depth of dish showing at the front (i.e. no spacers) on an 86 turbo?
Could anyone tell me the offsets possible without spacers for front and rear? Plus any other crucial measurements I would need to tell someone before they built me a custom set of wheels for my car?!
Hopefully I can get deeper looking wheels on my 86 than is possible on the post 86 cars?? I like the opposite look to most people i.e. deep looking wheels with wider tires that are near maximum possible for the rims.

Here is a ---> Fikse Fitment Sheet. I will bet you anything that CCW will be asking the same questions or looking for the same exact data. Use the sheet if like and get your measurements ready, so if you call CCW you know what they may ask. I hope this helps.

You guys really dont need that much tire. Afterall the 928, which happens to be the best car ever, can fit that stock. I wish I had a 928. Randy is always telling me how awesome they are, and I've got 4 less cylinders than him That's why I bought an LS1.
