Default 7.5" and 9" Twists..Spacers needed?

For a 89 951? Front wheels are 7.5"x18" et50 and rears wheels are 9"x18" et52. I searched and found the wheels, but not on a 91..
TIA

They'll clear the fenders and suspension just fine but the center bore will not clear the dust cap on the hub. This is the case for all 986/996 and up factory wheels. You can use a spacer to clear the caps or remove the caps. When I had similar wheels, I used a 7mm spacer from paragon.

Interesting, as 996 twists on my s2 have no clearance issues at all.
