Here are pics of my 1986 951 with the PDs. The fronts are definitely in a bit, but the rears are very hard to tell/

André, I just measured the distance from the face of the rotor to the edge of the hub. It is approx. 2". Your looks larger maybe 3". I am thinking late offset

Pics?

So, if it is so then it does not look good. I'll either have to late-offset the front or early-offset the rear. This calls for a poll...

Mais, ça ne regarde pas bien...Host** de Tabar*** de Cri**

Will try to pull the wheels tonight to look.

Alternately look at this http://www.pelicanparts.com/catalog/...pg4.htm#item19

If you look the pictures of the last two items you will see the 1986 versus 1987+ rear rotors. The 1987 seems to have a 1" taper on the centre hub that starts about 2" from the rotor face just like yours.

Well... you could have my rear suspension... and I'll take yours but that seems like a lot of work... However, you will have to do something. See my PM

Fergus,

Yes, the rear rotors on my car are exactly like the 1987+ pictured in the above link.

The rear hub from my '86. Very different.
