Hey all, I am about to purchase some new wheels for my 91 Turbo. Currently it has 18" Speedlines but from what I can gather the are the correct fitment for a NB 964. The rears are 18x9.5 ET47. After doing some research I think I have the right numbers for what I need, 18x8 ET52 for the front and 18x10 ET54 for the rear. Can anyone confirm this is correct? Thanks!

Speedlines for 965 cars are 52 ET 8" and 61 ET 10. The correct RH wheels are 52 ET 8 and 54 ET 10.

If you have a 9.5" rear wheel depending on your centers you could add a deeper rear inner rim and make the wheel a 10 or a 10.5. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Hey Jim thanks for the reply. The wheels I am getting are Work Brombachers. I just found their fitment table and they have the available offsets....

18 x 10.0JJ +73 +60 +47 +35 +22 +9 -3

I think ET60 will have an inner rim which is 19.4mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 6.6mm less than before.

A ET47 will have an inner rim which is 6.4mm closer to the suspension strut. The outer rim will poke out 6.4mm more than before.

So I think ET60 would be the way to go??

ET 60 would be the safest way to go -- jdorociak@gmail.com jim

I will tell you most guys know and have settled on the Speedline 3.6 Turbo wheels as the best looking and most widely accepted correct wheel for the 965 Turbo cars. So many have tried other wheels only to come back around again and wish they had Speedline 3.6 Turbo wheels on their car.

Thanks Jim. I have no intention of selling my speedlines but they are in need of a refurb. Left rear has a nice big crack in the inner barrel too. If it wouldn't cost me a mint to send them to you (I'm in Australia) I think you know what my next question would be! Brombachers will get some R spec tires and the Speedlines will be kept for concourse etc.

Write to me off line. I have some spares and your wheels and the turbo are worth doing it right. jdorociak@gmail.com Jim
