Here ya go....They are just Fuch's welded into a 17 inch rim...I was wondering more about fitment and flares than anything...

tons of posts about the use of GT flares and what works and does not....figure easily 8's in the front and 9's in the rear, if you do a search you'll see what others have used...

if you contact "series9" (Joe O'brian) that owns this car, I'm sure he'll share the size of the rims and tires and the spacers used and then just do the math, good chance the rims he has have a 55mm and 65mm offset (looking at his blog, they look like 2" spacers in front and back)....since the Lindseys can be custom built, you should be able to get a perfect fit without spacers

Hi, Thanks for the pointers..What I was planning on doing was some custom body work akin to the Kelly flares...Those look fantastic. Really, my issue is that I dont want to sink a bunch of money into the wheels and tires, and decide that my tires look like rubberbands around a rim that is way to large for a smallish car. I have seen some cars with 18x7s that look that way to some degree..I doubt that the 17x9's would have a similar appearance, but It would be cool to see them fitted up on a live car, even if the flares, etc were different..I remember seeing a pic of a black 914 here on the forum that had the Lindsey wheels on it, but it was not a full side pic...I think it was in a thread linked off of Andyrew's flare saga...any more info about that car? thanks...

Here ya go; pretty darn sure these were built by Lindsey. They are 17's built on Fuchs centers. This was a sweet car seen at a POC event 5 years ago. Not sure where it resides now...

You might find some pics on their website http://www.lindseyracing.com/
They will be going on a big flared car coming to CAMP soon.
