8"/9" on 928 CS & '89 928 GT
The 8" fronts are not easy to find. but I am looking. Anybody have the 8" for sale?

Thom, your ride looks great with those color matching wheels. The CS are awesome looking on the 951. I have a set of polished CS 7"/9" going on in the next few weeks. I can't wait.

D90s came in various sizes depending on which car they were on :
- 6"/8" on 964
- 7"/8" on S2 : same rears as 964
- 7.5"/9" on '90/'91 951 & '90/'91 928 S4/GT : same rims, except 928 rims have RDK sensors.

Club Sports :
- 7"/9" on '88 951 S & '89 951
- 8"/9" on 928 CS & '89 928 GT
Hmm. I re-measured mine. Lip to lip, one set is 9" and the other is 10". 16" diameter. Could these have been a 911 variety? Or, am I measuring wrong?

I have liked the Club Sports ever since I first saw them on the turbo S. They go well with the lines on the car and they are unique. I've debated myself on other wheels because I prefer the Club Sports were 17" or 18", and wider. I've all but decided to keep them and have them widened to 9's & 10's, or put 9" rears on the front and widen the rears. Will do wider then 10" on the rear if I can find a 16" tire that works.

You measure the width where the tire bead seats. They are probably 7" and 8."

I had 8" & 9" (the widest D90's made) on an 89 S2. Sounds like this is what you have. You measure the inside of the rim where the outside of the tire bead seats.

9" clubsports are almost 10.5" lip to lip.
