offsets sound similar to my car. I have an 86 w/ 55mmF/45mmR- 18x 11 in rear, 18x 8 in front. I'm running a 1.5" spacer up front and a 15mm slip on spacer in the rear w/ longer studs - paragon sells the H&R spacer kit for the rear. If you have your 1.5mm spacer machined out in the middle you should be able to use it up front. This is what works for my car but you may want to try them on yours first before sending the money out for spacers.

your best bet is just trying them on and seeing how they fit and then going on from there

That's cool, Rial is also the currency in some mideast countries. No wonder they're expensive!

Do post pics, those are going to look HUGE on a 951. Also, do you have rubbing problems with you current rims?
