I'm going to measure the set I borrowed to be sure of the measurements. I'll get back with you. Thanks

Well since my friend had these wheels powder coated, we couldn't read the part numbers. The only chance I had to measure the wheels was with the tires on them so it's a guestimate at this point. The rears were 9" and the fronts looked to be 8". I just didn't have the tools handy to measure the offset. I found this link http://www.944racing.de/wheelweights.php which gives several options including 3 different 8" widths. Any suggestions?

Here is the car with the barrowed wheels:

Nice! That's it, that's the look we are talking about.

Car looks awesome. I really like the stance and look of the CUP II wheels. Let me get this right...you are running CUP IIs with 245/40-17 frt and 275/40-17 rear - correct? I have a set of CUP IIs (7 & 9) in my garage waiting to be refinished and mounted on my '87 Turbo track car...and now I know what the combo looks like on a lowered track car. Also, where did you pick-up that frt splitter? Who is the manufacture?

thanks

Actually I just picked up a full set of 9" 55et CupII wheels. I will be running 275/40s all around. If I don't sell the car....

The front splitter is from back in the day when CPR made them.
