New Wheel Advice Sought?
I have found a pair of wheels I like.
They are 18" Cup 1 alloy replicas, with offset 52 front and back.
The fronts are 8.5 wide and the rears 9.5 wide.
Having read through the old threads here, the offset sounds fine and 9.5 on rear is OK. My main query is with 8.5's on the front, is clearance OK and how will that affect the handling?
PS: My suspension will be Bilsteins coilovers.

Hey addict are those like the ones you have now in your avatar.... just 18 inch???? Definetely send pics if you get them on i wanna see them because i have thought about getting the 18 inch cup 1's too but the ones i have seen dont look exactly like the 17 inch the spokes, the spokes seem to be a little squared off. Let me know bro.

Hi Jerry,
I've only seen web pics but they look exactly like my originals just 18's and wider, with polished rims too, they look SWEET. I will post pics if I buy them.
PS: I love the babe on your Avatar (is she yours?) but would like to see pics of your car sometime :-)

Hey guys:
How sounds this combination for a 1992 3.3 Turbo?
225/45 ZR17 rims: 8Jx17 ET 52
and
265/40 ZR17 rims: 9.5Jx17 ET 47
or better to turn into 18" rims? i feel more confident with 17" rims but maybe could be hard to find tires in those specific measures.
what do you think?
thank you in advance,
666
