Default 18" RH Speedline wheels

Hello all

Here's the link to my wheels for sale

https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...l#post14065603

Unfortunately they won't fit my 1989 964 C4.

Seems like an aggressive fitment but should be doable on a narrow body car

These exact wheels were really popular on 964 cup cars when they switched from 17's to 18's. They fit great with slightly rolled fenders.

What wheels are you currently running and do you have spacers fitted at present?
Also, wheel alignment may need checking as this can make a big difference to wheel fitment...

Compared to typical CUP 2 wheels that sit, well inside the arches, the poke is not significant!
CUP 2 Front 7x17 ET55 vs RH front 8x18 ET52 gives a poke of 15.7mm
CUP 2 Rear 9x17 ET55 vs RH Rear 10x18 ET54 gives a poke of 13.7mm

My 89 C4 is currently running 8.5x18 ET54 and 10x18 ET47 with no issues other than a slight rub on the inside of the wheel well at full steering lock.

Here's a pic of mine, not the best angle to show the wheel fit/alignment...
But it gives you an idea.

I'm on stock D90 right now. The RH Speedline do look damn good on the car though. Some stretched tires, rolled fenders, and negative cambers will get them to work. We shall see.

Hi Forrest Gump 9.
We used to own your G452 UUC. We're in Cornwall and sold it 2007.
If you read this we'd love an update on it - we really regret selling it now.
