I just picked up a set of 17" Cup 1s for a pretty good price. They'll need refinishing but they also included some PS2s that are in decent shape. I plan on putting these on my '93 C2. Unfortunately, I think I'll need spacers for the fronts but I'm not sure about the rears?
Here are the wheels part numbers, sizes, and offsets:
Fronts: 965.362.124.05, 7.5J, ET65
Rears: 965.362.128.00, 9, ET55
Any help answering these questions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,
Hal

- What size spacers will I need for the fronts?
- What size studs will I need to accommodate the new spacers?
- Any recommendations on where to buy these items?
- What does the "J" stand for in the width of the Fronts?
- Will I need spacers for the rears?
Any help answering these questions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

The correct offset for the front is ET55, so a 10mm spacer. Most people space out 6-7mm which brings the overall spacer to 16 or 17mm. You will need longer studs as well. Standard stud length is 45mm, so the stud length you need is 45+spacer width.
If it were me I'd sell the fronts and either find 8J x ET52 (slightly rare and expensive) or find some 7.5, ET55. With either of these two options there are no shenanigans with studs.
