Flared 951 16x8 Rear Rim Question, Late or Eary offset? Options

[jmill]

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?

911 PN offset fit great, 951 will need .spacers

[jmill]

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.

I think you have it backwards.

My Six with flares runs 16x8 951 wheels on the rear, and they fit perfectly without spacers.

I am looking for another set for the front.

Well, that would be par for my course. I seem to be collecting a lot of unused parts.
I will know for sure in a day or 2.
I may have a set of 8x16 911s FS.

I have a line on 4 951 16x'8's. He also has 2 911 16x8's. I hope to pick them up this weekend. Knowing what fits without spacers would help me avoid buying the wrong ones.

your right they fit but are inboard and most like em out closer to the fender.

here is The Chart;

[jmill]

So am I correct in saying that both fit but the 911 offset fits a bit better since it's closer to the fender lip?

Does anyone have this chart with the 17X7 and 17X6 info for comparisons?

[Socalandy]

Now I'm confused, my 16x8's have a 911.361.020.45

Why is it not on this list and where does that put me (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)

[sixnotfour]

911 offset , they have different PN's for different finishes and timeline.
the major dif. is 911 PN and 951 PN
