Don't know if your '86 is similar to my 968, but I've got 11 X 18 rears on mine with 295/30/18 MPSC's.

They fit on with no mods or rolling of fenders...unfortunately, I don't know their offsets so I can't give you much more info.

awsome- thats really what i needed to know was that they fit in there- i can correct my offset w/ spacers no problem. Hopefully the spacers im getting monday are just what i need but i doubt it'll be that easy.

- LOve the TUBRO conversion on that car! What do you think, keep the wheels silver or paint them- say - black or the color of the car?

Match to body color...almost no one does that and I think it would be sooo sweet and original.

I've often heard this but do not even see how it is possible. It's very clear when under a car with a stock fuel tank there is absolutely NO WAY you can reverse the shock tower bolt.

18x11 sport techno (2?) on 86

initial quick measurments suggest the need of 27mm spacing,





where is the bolt you all speak of?

Right at the top of the photo if you follow the shock. It cannot be reversed, the fuel tank is in the way.
