Will these wheels fit?
 
I found a great deal on some Porsche sport Classic II's


Stock wheels
REAR: 8.5" ET50
FRONT:7" ET55


Porsche Sport Classic II 18"
REAR: 10" ET65
FRONT: 8" ET50

Will the front be ok, and need 35mm spacers in the rear, if I calculated it right.
Are 10" too wide for the rear?


Pic of the type of wheel, not the exact one

For starters, I would bring the rears down to around +45 (+30 is way too aggressive), and the fronts to around +40 .

Lemme get this straight, 20mm spacer for the rear, and 10mm spacer for the front?

That's correct . If you wanted a more aggressive look, you could even go +40 on the rear and +35 up front .

K thanks, on all my other cars I never had to worry about offset when I put on wheels lol

Penland 07-30-2011 01:12 PM

Picked up the wheels today and threw one of them on for a pic, I ordered the spacers,should have em on by friday. 450$ for the whole set, it was such a deal. They are my favorite type of wheel too.

Would you mind sharing where you got them from? I'm interested.
Also, any idea on weight?

Penland 07-31-2011 12:10 PM

Craigslist, the guy that sold them was a realtor and found them in a foreclosed condo he purchased.

DenverSteve 07-31-2011 09:36 PM

Nice find.

Penland 07-31-2011 10:56 PM

My friend that works at a body shop is picking them up today to paint them black for me. Should have em on by the weekend!

Don't paint them!
They look great the way they are.
Very classic!

Penland 08-07-2011 03:09 PM

BF goodrich G-force KDW, they are awesome, they grip hard, but they are a little loud on other cars, but can't hear them over my exhaust

Johnny Danger 08-07-2011 04:37 PM

Penland,

How did you configure the final fitment ?

Penland 08-07-2011 04:41 PM

For now I'm just using 20mm in the rears. The fronts are just stock. I'm going to put 15mm in the front to make it more aggressive looking
