I was looking at wheels recently and pretty sure the MY02s which are recommended as track wheels for the 964 are 8 (50) and 10 (65) 18 inch. So that would be at least an 18mm spacer at the rear to get back to a 47 offset. Not sure if anything needed at the front?

I am going to try to fit some with 285 rear and 235 front in the next few weeks when it gets a little warmer. Mine is lowered to Euro height and I have coil overs.. I will report to everyone. I have been doing some research here and I assume I will need 18mm to 21mm spacers for the rears. From what I have read, the fronts will fit.
I'll keep you posted.

Wow - that's a lot of rubber front and back. Have heard of 275 rear but not 285. With 65mm - 21mm spacer gets you ET44 - I'd say that will be rubbing on the inside with 285 rubber. Be very interested to see how you get on.

Calculations are one thing but, for real-world applications and experience:
My C4 with EuroRS height works well on MY02's (8ET50/10ET65) with 245/35/18 and 285/30/18 MPSC's with no front spacer and a 21 mm rear spacer.
I do have a factory-flattened oil line, rolled fenders, and the updated steering stops. I also have 500/780 springs.
Yes, it is a lot of rubber.![Smilie](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

Are they mounted on stock bolts?
Do you recall the measurement of the steering stops?
Thanks.

I don't remember the steering stop sizes.

H&R makes a great quality spacer. The larger sizes come with bolts so you won't NEED longer studs in the car itself.

I mounted the wheels (or tried to anyways) tonight. Fronts clear no problem. Rear, without any spacers made contact with the inner wall so I jacked it back up and removed it.
BTW. This is with MY02 5 spoke wheels ET65 with 265/35/18 tires.
This wheel spacer calculator states that I need a 12mm spacer...
OEM CUP I wheel is ET52.
So, in order to clear oil line and not rub either side, do I go with a 12mm spacer, or 21mm? Or, do I go somewhere in between?
Thanks in advance.
