Has anyone fit replica 17" Fuchs on a early 86 turbo? If so what spacers did you use? What width in front and back did you use? Pictures would be great

Thanks

same question as before... hacked again?

No. Not hacked. Found out the previous post was my son-in-law when he was on my computer. He also has a 951,hence the question.

I was looking at those on automotion. I would go with the 17"x8" on the front and 17"x9" on the back. The price is hard to turn down. Anybody bought this ?

I currently have a set of Rota Fox on mine (7.5 x 17 and 9 x 17)

No spacers in the rear but I had to put 5mm spacers in the front to clear the 993 calipers.

marcoturbo

225/45 x 17 and 255/40 x 17 (stock sizes for 17" rims on our cars)

Wow that looks great! 17" is just the right size for those rims.

Hmmm I keep wanting a 2nd set of wheels (so I can just permanently mount track tires to my 18s)... I like something like the Fikse FM5... but going traditional with a Fuchs style wheel would be sweet too...

I looked at a set, but they looked "off" somehow.
Keep in mind your car has longer studs on the rear to accommodate the factory 28mm spacer, if you choose not to use a spacer you will need to install shorter studs.
I went w OEM 18" wheels w appropriate spacers. No issues.

are those the type where they machine the barrel off 6" 911 wheels and then glue them onto a larger wheel?

marcoturbo

No. They're full repro.

There's a huge thread on Rota wheels on Pelican boards. According to the main stream, as they're cast wheel, they shouldn't be used on track.
