Hi guys, was speaking to Mike (Dr Knaff) from Germany about running Speedline 3 piece rims that are 10Jx18 on rear with Et59. And he says I need to use adaptor/spacers for clearance on rear, is this right?

If so, he recommends 22mm adaptor spacer on rear, but I hae just checked the Porsche specialist stock them but in 21mm and 23mm.

Please advice and correct me if he or myself is wrong on the tech info.

I am running a 964 C4 with standard arches with no roll, would appreciate some info.

thanks

Norm,

A 10J wheel works best on a NB 964 with an offset of something around 47mm, so your ET59 (unusual number!!) wheel would be best with a spacer of 59 - 47 = 12mm. Much more than 12mm will get closer to the bodywork and risk touching under compression.

Regards

I have 18x10j 65 on the rear, and played with spacers, ultimately 21MM was best = 44MM net offset, dave calls it right somewhere between 45-50MM...15MM is a stock spacer size...

Thanks guys!

Was looking at the size of spacers/adaptors available for sale, and there mainly 15mm.

Dave I did work it out today and yes ideally 12mm spacer would be best, at the minute I am running a 10j with an ET of 47, a 12mm will I think run a similar setup now.

Obviously you guys will disagree to a Euro-German tire stretch of 255/35 on a 10J, but the clearance would be better even when running a 15mm, yes or no?

Please correct me or your views please.

thanks
Norm

This below shows a 255/35/18 with a 10J running on a ET47 rear, which I am happy with, and want the new wheels with Et59 10j to fit with the right spacer.

Do you have a classified ad somewhere? Price?

Pesty

You can't sell those your car looks fab on them!

What are you going for instead?

drknauf

with et 47 it looks to neatly and that is not what you want i know for sure!


if i was you i would go for adapters of 20 mm from H&R than you,ve got the FAT look you want!

on the other hand with et47 you can go with that tire size extremely LOWWWWW


doesn,t one of your friends have a extra pair of adapter lying somewhere around in the garage? so you can try out, what look you like!

i,ve got a pair extra but i live on the other side of the canal


good luck bro
