Default Proper wheel offset?

What is the proper offset for 18x8.5" and 18x10" wheels for a 91 Turbo?

Thanks,
Shawn

Shawn,

My 94 has 52's (or is it 55's) on the front and 61's on the rear.

I believe Mike's wheels are 8" width in front with a 52 offset. I am not sure you can get a 8.5" wheel under the front. Maybe someone who has done that can comment.

Default 8.5's and 10's

I have a set of Fikse FM-5's in 8.5 and 10 for sale, for $1700 plus shipping. Not perfect, but better than most track wheels, and I'm considering putting them on my street car. I know the 8.5 fit in front with 275's without rubbing. The PO had slightly modified the rear arches to fit, but rubbing may not be an issue on a tire narrower than a 305 Hoosier. I'm not sure of the offset.

Are the stock 3.6T wheels 18x8 in the front then?

Thanks for the offer, but the FM-5's aren't my top choice.

I'm looking for 3.6 RH's or something like the Gemballa Competitions.

Yes, the stock 3.6 wheels are 8's and 10's.

I'm running Ruf wheels (8.5) and I always get the offset mixed up between the two.
