Guys,

Since my visit to the Mittelmotor Sommerfest I purchased some flares. Now I nee a little bit of advice on what wheels will fit.

I plan to buy some rear arms from Eric, as that will give me the five stud. As for the front I am not sure but a 911 front end is probably the best way to go, what is the best or worst front to go for.

What is the best combination to go for fror front and rear so there is no rubbing on the inner wheel arches etc. I like the look of these .

This going to be a street car, so I was thinking of 7" fronts and 8.5" rear in 17". What should I be looking for in terms of offsets. I was also thinking about maybe wheels like this .

What about wheels like this cup wheels

I am sure you guys have done this before so any advice you can give me for sizes and ET etc would be very much appreciated since this is going to be the first car I have ever had with studs what lengths should I ask Eric for?
