Default how wide are you'r wheels?

I'm ordering a new set of forged 3 piece wheels for the 964
I was wondering if someone run's 8.5 or 9j front and 10 or 10.5j in the back
i don't want to run really stretched tires and don't want to ruin the fenders

The most common sizes are 8j front on et 48 and 9.5j back on ET52

Anny help would be apriciated!
i would like to run 8.5j front & 10j back
But need the ideal ET values

cheers
Kris

There is a ton of information on this subject if you do a search (wheel size 964); are you running 17" or 18" wheels???????????

My 10x18's are shod with 265/35 on the rear.
Parked next to a c4s today and noted his were 295/30. Not too sure if those would come anywhere near fitting a 964 without some serious fender rolling.

I have 18" Fikse rims 8" (ET 51) and 10" (ET 44) with 245/35 and 275/35 tires with rolled fenders and a factory flattened oil line.

no. mine has a flat oil line already, but i don't think it would need it as i can fit my hand between it and the wheel.

18" BBS 8.5" (MPSC 235's) & 10"(265's)
Flattened oil line just to give room. No rolling. Also, are you street or track driving it. How is your car set-up?
I have 245/275's Hoosiers that fit on the same wheels. I have a friend who is
running 245/295's Hoosiers. Had to do a little fender massaging, but they work no problem.
