Default 17" Turbo Twists, ET23/15 on an '86 951.

I'm in the process of trying to find two more Winter tires for the front PD's of my 951 and came across some 17" Turbo Twists with some used winters already mounted (upgrading is always good). Buying two new tires or spending a tad more for 17's with good tires is something I'm mulling over at the moment.

While I'm not a big fan of the Twists and would love to find a set of 17" CCW's, the Twists are listed with an Offset of ET23/15 (F/R).

From what I can ascertain from searching, I wouldn't need any spacers to run these particular Twists on my '86?

These are cup3 rims with ET23 and 15. Fits without spacers on my 86

Okay, so I'm on the right track with the offset, thank you, kghaas for the help. Nice looking 951, too!

You are on the right track
Have you any thoughts on the winter tires?
I run 195's, but depending on how much you drive on snow vs tarmac I wold go with 205s or 215s
I run no-stud tires.

Winter tires:

The rims have 205's and 255's. I won't be driving it in snow/ice/slush but I want a set of winters just in case - the weather changes every 10 minutes in Ohio. I have a 4x4 truck for the really nasty stuff and I don't have to commute to work, either, so it's only for safety if I get caught in wintry conditions.
