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. |

I have the 951 wheels both front and rear. Fronts are 16x7 with 225-50-16 tires Rears are 16x8 with 245-45-16 tires. I love the look on the rear. The fronts look too small in my opinion. I am kinda looking for a set of 951 16x8 rims for the front so I can run the same size tire all the way around. This should also help with my understeer problem. Clay, are you running any spacers with those rears? Is the part number for your rears the same as the second from the bottom on the chart? Thanks |

No, I am not running any spacers. I have steel flares, and the tires don't hit. They are close, though. |
