Default Looking a getting MY02's for my C2S WB... sizes, offsets?

Hi guys - after a day of slopping around an AutoX course on stock 17's with Conti DWS 6's, I've decided to start looking for a nice set of MY02's.

What do I need for offsets?

Spacers on the rears?

Thanks for any help in advance. Open to be schooled on this...

I run a set of OEM MY02's on my WB C4S. I can't recall the offsets, but spacers are needed on the rears only. I run 32mm spacers and have had no problem with them after 7 years

The slopping may have more to do with your tires than your wheels

Try a set of summer tires (re71r is popular right now) and you'll feel a huge difference vs the DWS 06.

Yup, WB's typically run 40 offset in the rear so 25mm spacers would bring the MY02's with 65 offset back to spec. 32mm will provide more poke, and apparently clear fine

MikeJ runs a set on his TT periodically throughout the year, he actually has them on now. So I'd shoot him a msg if you'd like to see how a set will look on a WB with spacers. Tlaloc is spot on about the tires too.

Excellent. Tku.

Great data. Tku.

Yep. I am sure. That is the case. I'm looking at PS's as well.

Yes - so I'll jump to 18" and new tires. It's time.

Nice. Looks great.

QUESTION: Does BBS make MY02's as well if I were to purchase new?

Yes. The OEM wheels were made for Porsche by BBS. I bought mine new at Wheel Enhancement in L.A.

Considering that the wide body off-set was an et. 40 on the rear of a 10"wide wheel this would then kick out the et. 65 with the use of a 15mm spacer.

We have a couple of these sets, used that we have refinished if you are interested, $2,000-2,400 depending on the finish you go with.

Somethings not right with the math. 40et plus a 15mm spacer only gives you 55et not 65. As mentioned earlier by Foxman and Goofball it requires at least a 25mm spacer to reach a 65et.

Wheel Dynamics is number one for their wheels, not their math. By the way, I miss the bonde on the old avatar.

MY 02 wheels are awesome. Incredibly light and easy to clean. You can buy them new from Gert at Carnewal for about $3,500. http://www.carnewal.com/products/P93/p96031/MY'02-Wheels

Fronts: 8 ET 50
Rears: 10 ET 65

I'm running narrow body wheels with a ~28mm (?) spacer. Not totally sure but it's in that range. Wheel fills the rear well nicely.
