Post Other Half needs practice

A quick check on the archives didn't show what info need. Anyone know a quick link ....or can Help.
I would like to take off my Track "Sport Cups" off. (18"-993 Turbo wheels, # Rear- 993-362-138.00"B" and Front-# 993-362-140.00 "A") so the other Half can "practice down shifting" on the street, as she has almost no confidence @ the DE's!
I don't know by the numbers above, and the spacers for the 993 wheels don't show the size/spacer "numbers" like the other wheels.

The wheels I'd like to put on for the street are for my '91 964 C2 ...They came w/ the car.
REAR #-944-362-116.00...8 X 52
w/ S0-3's /215/16 tires
FRONT # 944-362-112.00...6 X 52
w/225/16 SO-3's
I know that the "52" is the size I need for spacers-Correct? So where are they,( Might have lost 'em in my current garage update) <img border="0" alt="[ouch]" title="" src="graemlins/c.gif" /> or is it OK the way they are- ie, take off the 993 spacers and they'll be @ "52" since their "stock" wheels, or did I indeed "lose" them?
Unfortunate for me , I didn't personally do the tire swapping.
It's another rainy Saturday & was hoping to make the change <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Thanks
Bill

Bill,

Any reason the C2 wheels (which are the 92 on wheels) don't fit? I'd expect they would fit fine, unless you've upgraded to big red or S4 brakes in front. If you have big reds, forget those wheels as they won't fit (you need 17" minimum wheels with big reds). If you have S4's, then a 1/8" spacer should do. With stock brakes those wheels should fit. I do need to ask is that a typo on the S03's in the rear at 215/16? I'd expect 225's to 255's in the rear on 8" rims.

52 means 52mm and is the offset of the wheel, which is correct for your 964. You shouldn't need any spacers with those wheels, with the brake caveat above.

Bill thanks for the quick heads-up. Had the car jacked up and it hit me. I didn't swap the wheels! Hence the uncertainty.
Yes it was a typo, the 225's are on the rear!(I got the part numbers right though).Off to the garage.
Thanks
Bill
Any clues as to what are the wheels are called, from the given part numbers?
PS Beaver Run was FUN

Thanks, again. Well, clear the roads, she's out there on-the-loose!
Drives like a nice civilized Sports Car now.
Now she's gotta learn how to use the jack/lug wrench, cause she Really likes driving it on the road now.
