New sneakers for the six project. Now I just have to do some extreme flaring and spacer work! I think these will look good on a silver 3.6 teener. Still can't decide between GT flares or 100K taps with a ballpeen hammer and viola, some custom flares. I believe these have the same offset as the 993 cup wheels (et55?), has anyone tackled the spacer issue with et55's?? Advice??

Guess I need to change my avatar? The Tangerine 71 is gone and a Silver 74 has taken it's place.

those should look nice....no mention on width?????
fitting is different between a 8" wide wheel and a 9" wide wheel with a 55mm offset. I test fit 16x8's with a 55mm offset on the rear of my 914, the tires hit the wall for the trunk and the trailing arm. You'll probebly need at least 1" spacers to move the wheel out (unless you tubbed the rear end of the car !!!!! ) |

Those will never fit correctly on your car, I think you should just send them out to me and I will put them on my Chalon project and you can have the 7 and 8 inch Fuchs that I have for mine. Fair trade? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

Fronts
no flares = 1" spacer GT Flares = 2" spacer Rears no flare = a few options (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) extensivly modify the trailing arms, relocate the shocks inboard more and cut the trunk wall or run a 993 or Boxster rear suspension setup or build a custom SLA rear suspension (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) GT Flares (or similiar) = min 2" spacer to prevent rim/tire from hitting the inside structure of the car, of course flares will have to be implemented due to the width. These figures and recommendations are IMHO and are not fact !!!!! |

with flares on my 16x9 I ran 54mm spacers (back)
with my 17's x 8.5 I ran 35mm(back) the 35's worked on one side with the 16's but not on the other, just off. upfront I ran 35mm on both. |
