Will 10 x 17 Offset ET 25 Work on An Early 86 951?
Just a quick question as I know many of you know this right off the top of your head.
Thanks for the help guys.

Ive got 18x9 in the rear with a 23et. Fits with the fenders rolled and 265 mm rubber. I tried with 285 mm rubber and it would touch the fender on the drivers side only. With a little more manipulation on the fenders it would have fit. Didn't want to risk the pretty paint.
Unless you have a stiff coil over suspension which won't squat under load you probably wont be able to run a 10" in the front. A 8.5 to 9.0 on a stock setup.

I've got 9.5x18 with offset of 27 no rubbing fits fine with a 265/35 tyre. Tried to go to offset 17 but that kept rubbing.. even after rolling the fenders.
If you get the 10x17 with offset 25 it will be 8mm more out then my 9.5's with offset 27. Will be about what i could not fit under my 86.. Maybe if you would harden up the springrates at the rear you could but not sure..

Measuring from an original 16x8 et23 Phone Dial wheel, this OZ wheel will extend 25mm in both directions. If you don’t have a stock PD wheel to reference and know your current wheel figures, plug the numbers in this site, Wheel Offset Calculator and measure from your fitted wheel.
Last resort is to have the OZ wheel owner measure back spacing and wheel width, compare those numbers to your wheel then tape some cardboard, a wood shim or 1x, paint stir stick or several straws together to your tire representing the OZ wheel dimensions.
The OZs are sharp, good luck!

I have no clue what the offsets are on my fikse wheels. Also the owner is not willing to measure he has another buyer lined up and is holding them for 24hrs.
Any other opinions on the fitment??? And thank you 951 saga I just don't have the resources to use the wheel offset calculator.

I think racers run 10s in the front. But as others have pointed out. They use a 2.5 " coil over and run over 2 deg negative camber.

OK, using this site, Wheel / Tire Size Comparer, The OZ wheels back space should be 6.4in. Now measure this figure from your Fikse wheel mount surface ten inches to the wheels face for reference.

You live very close to me and I have my rims off the car right now. If you want to try my rear rim on the front to see if there is room to spare. You're welcome to. Edit: I now live in Westchester NY. Close to the border of Greenwich.

My first reply is with the rear wheel of my 86 951.:: If you get the 10x17 with offset 25 it will be 8mm more out as my 9.5's with offset 27. Will be about what i could not fit under my 86.. Maybe if you would harden up the springrates at the rear you could but not sure..
