Update 2011-05-17: These wheels are sold!

I am slowly cleaning out my storage unit, and I have decided to sell these.

If interested, please see my ad in the Rennlist Classified Ads section, with more pictures and a description.

Edit: Reduced price to reflect a ding I found on the inside rim of one of the 8x16's. Pictures included in Ad postings.

Hello
I know these are sold. I actually bought these wheels from a local person and I am planning on throwing them on my 87' 951.
1) What is the best/correct size Tires for front and rear (staggered)
2) Is Fuzion really the only maker of the stock size tires for these rims?

Hi Perculator00,

Maybe only Fuzion makes the EXACT stock size tires, but I doubt they are the only tire manufacturer making good tires to fit these wheels.

If yours are also 8 and 9 inch wide, then that translates to about 203 mm and 229 mm. I would look for tires between 10% less and greater than that, and see what you come up with:

8" = 203mm; +/- 10%, roughly = (185mm to 225mm).
9" = 229mm; +/- 10%, roughly = (205 mm to 250mm).

But also calculate the sidewall heights of the tires you find. It is amazing how easily a larger front tire sidewall can look "wrong" - definitely a half inch on the sidewall difference (one inch total) seems to look wrong - to me anyway.

If you can deviate from stock and they fit, some folks just put the 16x9" ones on all four corners (the 8" are the rare ones), and that also allows your tires to be interchangeable. If you want them for a stock racing class, that may not fly, however.

I recommend you also cross post to the 951 forum, since they would be more familiar with your car and what fits (these came from a 928).

They are great wheels - good luck!
