A previous thread on "The Final Word" regarding wheel spacers was, well, not so final in some respects. So, at the risk of "Oh no, not again", I thought I'd ask anyway.

My plan is to run the 7" front and 9" rear F'glass GT flares. For wheels, I have the 993 Cup wheels like Joe O'Brien's great looking black powder coated one's, only they're still silver. 205-17 fronts, and 255-40-17 rears. Rear wheels are 9" wide, offset is ET55. What spacer works best for the 9" rear flare/wheel/tire combo? I just need to get in the ball park with a number, as I realize I'll want to fine tune the exact spacing. The car isn't flared yet. I measured the backspacing on the stock wheel (MOMO w/ 195-50-15) at 4 7/8", and the 993 at 7 1/2". The difference is 2 5/8" (66.6mm), so that implies the spacer must be that thickness. Any info would be helpful......Joe, what did you use on your's? I know, I should've asked you at the WCC in Camarillo, but.......
