If those dimensions are right you'll need a 10mm spacer.

Don't recall ever seeing a Cup 1 in those dimensions and offset.

On the wheel chart on page 281 of my newly acquired "enthusiasts manual". I believe it was the front wheel for the turbo model.

If I recall correctly, factory Cup 1 on the Turbo is 17 x 7 ET55. Perhaps there are other variations out there which I am not familiar with. Since I am not a Porsche historian, I will let others chime in to confirm.

The factory Cup I is 17x7et55. There are Cup I replica wheels that are 17x7.5et52. Check again if you're seeing a 5 or a 6 there. I don't think there are ANY front Porsche wheels with offsets in the 60mm range.

Unless you're looking at a different book to me there are 2 7.5Jx17 wheels on that page showing an ET of 65 but neither are the part number you originally quoted.

965.362.124.05 is a Cup 92 wheel for the front of a 968 and 993.362.124.05 is a Cup 93 wheel, I suspect for the same car.

As I mentioned before, an ET65 wheel will need a 10mm spacer to fit on the front of a 964 as is mentioned in Adrian's book (although he doesn't give the size).

Regards

Dave

Gee, you'd think somebody might think about putting an EDIT button on the bottom line wouldn't you??? ----------▼
