Is this what you are looking for? These have been sitting on my project car for over a year (early offset 17" CCW Track Classics, black anodized centers)

I can't at the moment. I would have no way to roll the car around without wheels and haven't even decided if I'm going to sell the project car yet. I tried last spring to sell it as a roller w/ the CCW's but the wheels were 1/2 the price of the package.

I'm a little partial to the rugged take no prisoner's look of the CCW Classics...then again I'm prejudiced!

Rick, are those 18's??? I've been tossing up the idea of just ordering a new set of them in 18's and be done with it but the the thought of $2400+ is a bit pricey with the other options out there.

18x10 and 18x9 w/285/30's and 245/35's
They are a track wheel and have no provisions for center caps.

Okay, I bit the bullet today and bought some 18" Carerra 5 spoke lightweights (listed in my original post) from a guy down over in Indiana who decided not to put them on his '77 911.
They're not perfect and need the center caps but they are straight plus they have some decent rubber on them.
Thanks for all of the advice, gents!
And I still want a set of CCW Classics in 18's.

The 18" 2002 Carrera 5 spoke lightweight wheels I picked up have the following specs: 18x8 (50mm) with 225/40ZR18's, and 18x10 (65mm) with 285/30ZR18's.
Lots of searching has revealed some information about which spacers to use for fitting the late offset wheels onto an early offset 951.
We can use most 17 and 18 et 50-65 mm with 1 to 1.5 spacers.
Largest wheel fitment without fender modifications: Front 18x9 et 52 with 1“ spacer, Rear 18x11 et 45 some cars may require 1/4" spacer and should require the top shock tower bolt to be reversed. Sounds like I won't have a fitment issue and won't have to reverse the bolt.
Based on this information, I should need 1" spacers for the front and 1.5" spacers for the rear?
