OK,

To answer my own question I have temporarily fitted up my 8x17 ET52 wheels on the std rear drums on my Super. I have used Empi 25mm hub adapters.

With the car on std height the wheels look like they protrude by about 8mm max, but I guess when it's lowered at the rear it won't look like that anymore

I have used 215/45R17 tyres and they clear the bumpstop perch by around 10mm and also clear the outer springplate bolt ok.

They actually look pretty good like this - quite aggressive.

I am fitting a pair of 235/45 R17s Dunlop SP9000 tyres on to see what they look like as I have the tyres lying around. I suspect they may also clear, as at the rim the tyre isn't much wider it's just that it doesn't taper in as much at the top.
Will also post up pics soon.

Which vehicle are those 8" wheels from? I like the Cup IIs but didn't think the larger than 7's where available with such a deep offset!

How about a part number from the wheel:agree:

Yes 7.5x17 ET52 and 8x17 ET52 are both genuine sizes. So is 8x17 ET30 believe it or not (stick out more than the 9x17 ET55s) - I have a pair of those too kind of by accident


I will have to take a wheel off to get the code but they have a 993. prefix. Will post up early next week with it

I have a pair of 8 inch cup twos with a ET70, perfect to fit under stock arches if you have porsche brakes
