Guys, I've been racking my head over the wheel offset and if the wheels I'm interested in will fit on my car. I'm very new to the 951 arena and need some help. After searching and searching I seem to just confuse myself more. Any chance anyone wants to throw me a fish?!?

Simple question: Will the following fit on my 1987 951? If so will I need spacers and what size?

Turbo Twists:
Fronts are 8 x 18 with a ET 52 with Dunlap Winter Sport 225/40/r18
Backs are 10 x 18 with a ET 47 with Dunlap Winter Sport 265/35/r18


Thanks!!

those should fit without any problems. I think a few members have 295 rears without an issue

The ET on the rear is wrong for 10" wheels, they might rub but it will depend a bit on rear camber. Offset should be 60-65 for 10". Fronts should be fine. Spacers won't work with a 47 ET wheel - you need the imaginary equivalent of negative spacers which would pull the wheels in. I'm not saying they for sure won't work, but I would not be confident that they will.

Except for ET 65 on the rears, I have this same setup.

I appreciate the comments. Guess it's time to look for ET 65 for the rears....

Matt, I look forward to meeting you. I'll be picking up my first 951 before friday pending PPI. I'm VERY excited and plan to be at the local porsche meets.
