 |
|
Hi, new guy here. Last week I put down a deposit for my first Porsche 924S. Picking it up on Monday. I was looking at different wheel options to see what's out there. The car now has the teledails, but I'm looking for something with a little more lip.
What size (width and et) can I fit under the stock arches of a '88 924S without any body work? I was thinking of going 16". The car will also be lowered by reindexing the torsion bar and coils up front.
I was looking for this look

You should check out the WHEEL THREAD.
Yes, 16 will fit. My car has 16x8 and 16x6 in "Design 90," a factory Porsche wheel from the early 90s. Running 225 in the back, 205 in the front. Rears are a very tight fit under the fender.

| I went to most of the wheel thread, but I'm getting confused with the offsets. most run a very high offset, others don't. So what is the correct offset for these cars? |

Most of the factory wheels that fit well are 52.3, referred to by Porsche folk as "late offset."
