Looking for track wheels and wondering if these would fit a lowered (near RS height) C2S. From searching I'm guessing the front is pretty close - figured I'd lose 1/4 inch inboard and outboard. Have others used this width and ET?
thanks

front are 8.5x18 et50
rears are 11x18 et40

I have run Fikse wheels with that setup. Roll the front fenders and you may rub on the plastic wheel wells a bit.

This is 8.5x18 ET53 w/ 245/35 tires, 8.5 ET 50 sticks outboard 3mm more, I would guess that would work ok





This is 8.5 ET54 225/40 tires



I've also run 9 but there was room for 225/40 tires max

thanks for the input guys and bill thanks for the pictures - amazing. My car is not as low so I think it should be good - I currently have 8" standard offset with 235/40 and no issues with room - also good to know I could go 245/35 up front. There are some used TE37 wheels I'm considering in this size.
thanks again.

I ran the #s and here's what happens compared to the stock 8ET52 w/ 235/40 tire
the 8.5ET50 is 8.35mm closer to the lip and 4.35mm closer to the chassis

if you use a 245/35 instead of a 235/40 the tire will be 13.35mm closer to the lip and 9.35mm closer to the chassis, that's a lot.

When going to the max tire and wheel sizes the room for differences from optimum goes to zero. That was why I ditched the 9ET50 fronts, they worked fine w/ a 225/40 tires but wouldn't w/ a wider tire, there just wasn't room at the lip. the 8.5ET50 w/ 245/35 is well w/i the envelope of the 9ET50 w/ 225/40 so you should be ok.

I am REALLY low (havne't measured, but probably RS-ish) and I run 245/35 up front on my C4S with 993 turbo hollow 8" wheels. I get a little rub on the inside back of the wheel well.

Geez, Bill, such blatantly, self-promotional pics of ones car.....

Love this blue/orange combo! They definitely see you coming!
And as for your knowledge of tires/wheels/offsets/fitment....
