Full Boost(Simon) What details do you have for your wheels? I have currently HRE 540 18x10 and 18x9(8.5?), and their offset according to the previous owner was 65. I think its around 55 because it rubs a little on corners with dips. I plan to put a RSR NB kit since my car is a C2.
I want to keep the wheels first, until funds permit, and buy specific wheels for the WB. I intend to install 1 inch spacers in the meantime.
So if I you can give me details on the offset etc it will be a big help and I can start looking for a set.
TIA

Hi Cam,
Firstly - I am in AU and wheels are a little hard to come buy - the only ppl that manufactured 3 piece wheels in AU went out of business a few years ago - although they have recently been resurrected by a friend (of course - AFTER my wheel issues have been solved) so I had to import wheels from the US. (and tyres and spacers....)
Secondly i have a BBK conversion that was (stupidly in hindsight) totally custom made - and have some wheel clearance issues (my rear callipers are form a 997 GT3 and stick out in front of the hubs - causing clearance issues.
Basically i used stock 996TT size wheels and mucked about with spacers to get the look i was going for Of course the basic ET etc was good - but they just sat inboard too far. These are also my ROAD wheels - my track wheels I had custom made.
The wheel specs are F 8.5 x 19 ET51 R 11.5 x 19 ET45 but this is from an old diary note - so not 100% sure.
My advice is the complete the car - get a bunch of spacers and muck around for fitment - use washers big enough to fit over the lug nuts - just to get an idea as buying lots of spacers gets expensive - i still have 5 pairs..... then get a set of that are perfect. H&R - the only way to go - they have plenty of sizes available. And don't believe all that BS about increased load on bearings etc....
Also - my car was a WB to start with and i added over 3 inches to each side...... If I ever get through my divorce - iw ill get a set of 10s for the front and 13's for the rear made.... now that would be FAT!!!!
Petu - Email incoming..... but it will raise more questions than it answers.....
