I have AA metal flares. I have 16x7's with 911 offset (...020.44 I think) for the front. I need 8's for the rear. Do I stick with the 911 offset or get the 944/951 offset?

Guys in the know, please step up and tell me what offset you're running (part # would be great) + spacer thickness if any for an 8" rim in the rear. Tire sizes would be great too. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

We need an all you need to know about rims and tires thread.

951 Turbo 8's on the front with 3/4" spacer and 225 tires
911 Turbo 9's on the rear and 245 tires
To me the combination is perfect. (but expensive) It looks good, handles great and offers a comfortable ride.

I am planning to run 911 factory 8s up front and 911 9s in the rear on #41. I knew your car had this set up but I was not sure what your 8s where. I have an extra set of 951 8” but I think I will just run the 911’s and no spacers up front. I tried it out when I installed my flares and the 8’s fit fine. I did get an Elephant wheel limiter from PMB so the wheel would not scrape my oil lines in a parking turn.

The big question is? Did you roll you lips flat as that gives almost 3/8 more room?

The car just looks great with this look.
