Question 18 "Ruf wheels from boxter onto a 86 turbo?

Hi
New member here. Thanks in advance to all who help out. Here is the question ,A guy has 18' ruf wheels that were on his boxter that he wants to sell. They were on his car with spacers which he purchased from ruf. Will these fit onto a 1986 930 turbo? Are there any modifications necessary?

Sure you can use them.

It will take aggressive spacers however, and I always thought the look of a wheel spaced out SO FAR from the brake caliper & rotor looked a bit goofy. Not to mention the increased load on the wheel bearings.
