Got the cash together for 16x8's. I hear the 951 offset fits the rear of a flared car without spacers. Is this true and do I want late or early offset?

Is there a specific backspacing/offset that fits best? What 911 PN?

I think with that GT flare group buy there is going to be a run for 8s.
I got lucky to get my flares on last month. As I was looking for 8s, myself, I realized I better find some fast because they seem to be made of unobtaininum.
$1,000 for 2 used rims? That's what I payed. They are in the mail. Seems like buying a bar of gold.

Yes, from what I understood PN: 911.361.020.45 is best w/o spacers.
I hope, that is what is on its way.

Now, I will have a hard time finding rubber to fit that rim.
For one thing I wanted to keep the tire dia. at or less than 24.5".

If you look here http://members.rennlist.org/911pcars/wheelWts.html
there seems to be one more PN that will work.
911.362.117.XX I don't know what that is all about???

The way I saw it, after all the extra work, spacers and studs, brgs... the 911 rim would be cheaper than 951s.

I also looked for 17" options, maybe I should have looked harder (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
I am interested to see what you guys come up with.
