Default quick rim & tire question, plz...

I know this has been covered before, but can't find it...

Trying to put the '89 951S together for VIR next weekend and can't remember if the 8x17 (52mm offset) Cup 1's fit the front alright with 235 RA1's.
Thinking a 7 is too narrow.
Also, does 38-39 psi sound right?

Thank you.

235 RA1 rim width range is 7.5-9", I use 235 on my 8" front wheels.

I run 38-39 HOT pressures on the RA1, start 31-32 cold.

Here's a fitment chart http://www.sascosports.com/products/...php?type_id=38

Marc, do you have an alternative? Meaning go up a bit wider if you have the option.

Hey there, do mean with a tire or wheel?
I usually run 245's with Hoosiers, but in a 16".
