    ^Would look awesome on a flared car but I dunno about mine. I'll have to try out some combinations so see what sticks out enough, but not too much. I dont want the body of the car to get dinging up from the road debris. I think what will work is two sets of front 7.5 twists all around with a spacer in the rear.

    How wide are the current wheels you have and what is the offset? Then what is the distance from the face of the wheel out to the fender and how much space is between the tire and shock/springs?

    I'm just trying to determine how big you can go and with what offset. Those BBS RS wheels have a really high offset with the lugs almost out to the face of the wheel (not deepdish) and may work without sticking out...

    Are those cookie cutters the stock wheels that came with the car? If so, I'm pretty positive the offset on those are similar to the early 944's (pre 87), which can carry a pretty wide and low offset wheel.

    I'll try to look it up later.

    Here is mine with the old fuchs. I have toyos ra1 on them now. Twist are for daily driving.




    Here's a couple with the "newer" wheels. Click for high res.




    I got these thru craigslist. Check often as they are usually gone quick.

    If you dont mind me asking, how much were they? Those things vary as some Porsche folks sell them for 150 bucks to clear the garage for the Forgelines and some still want a grand.

    Also you have flares and that makes a difference. I think I would need 2 sets of fronts on the narrow cars and with spacers. Your car looks great btw.

    I picked mine up for ~600.00 off of craigslist. They were brand new with new rubber. The guy had just went with Fikse wheels.

    You will see some great prices, but act quick, cause a few I've seen resell on ebay for more $$$$.

    just rims, if you want 18's http://atlanta.craigslist.org/pts/574119352.html

    We def. need to do a mountain run when we get a chance.

    Mountain run for sure. Those roads I basically know by heart in my Galant but I will have to relearn braking and throttle up there in this thing.

    Those 996 replicas are nice but 10 inch wide rears?!?! I dont think they'd fit worth a poop.

    Ah. If that's the case, those wheels are run on the pre 87 cars, which can carry a low offset wheel. Are they 15x7 all the way around or are the rears 15x8? If the rears are the 15x8 that means you can actually stuff a pretty wide wheel in there. You'd be surprised.

    I'm curious about how much room is on the inside of the tire...i'm sure with the correct offset a 1" or 2" wider wheel could be used and it still not stick out past the fender.

    I'll have to measure it this weekend. I dont believe they are staggered though. I'll probably keep them on there for a while and just use up the tires on them whil I get used to the car. I'll probably roll up to Strictly German and see if they have something random laying around too.

    Found some RUF Speedlines for 2 grand. Too big though

    gaw I love those wheels.
