Unfortunately, 1987 is first year of late-offset wheels. So you can't do -2 years. Only 87-89 will fit your criteria.

There are late offset Porsche wheels prior to 87 from the 928.

I think he just means the era he's looking at is 85-89 (late 80s).

How about 17" (or 18") Ruf Speedlines?

I don't like Gotti wheels, until I saw this 17" version that I just found on the web - I don't know if they're available for Porsches.

Toyo R888 are a good track day tyre but, in my opinion, but best all rounder in 245/45 R16 is Bridgestone RE11. Check out the feedback on TireRack for these tyres. If I remember correctly they are ranked as their 1st choice summer hi performance tyre.

I agree with the Bridgestone RE11. I have that exact size on all 4 rims. Yes they fit on the 7 inch front and 8 inch rear d90's with no problems. Love the balance and handling. They last a long time also!
