Lanner,

Sorry, but any chance you can detail the rear setup? Ie how the 225 fits under the stock fenders?
So I would guess there is narrow 944 hubs on steel arms (+22mm), riding with 8 et50ish alloys (first setup)

Many thanks.

Rim purchase

So Lanner:

Are these 17's ? do you know what size tires will fit the 7" fronts ?
When can they be picked - up (or better if delivery since I am limited to home and can't drive for five weeks). Give me a call when convenient for you and then we can work out a plan for pre-payment until I get the wheels.

Cheers, Allan # 416.471.3508

No prob Allan. I'll be in touch.

205/50 and 225/45 is the stock tire size on those wheels. I'd stick with that size.

Cheers,
Lanner

Hey Lanner, why don't you have a "build thread" on this fine German machine?

Once I get her out of winter hibernation and start on the mechanical upgrades, I'll start the build thread . Seems kinda odd to do a build thread on a car I built 15 years ago, lol: but as we all know a car is never "done". There are always tweaks to be done

Bruce,

Correct. Steel arm 944 setup. The wheels were 8et70 (relatively rare winter wheel). Fit well, had to slightly trim the body mount in the fender (where single bolt attaches body to pan). I could have even got away with a 6mm spacer to avoid the trimming, as there was a little room to spare to the outside. The bump stop on the frame was trimmed slightly aswell by about 8-10mm and the forward most trailing arm to spring plate bolt is countersunk flush.

I don't think a 8et55 would fit stock fenders.

Cheers,
Lanner
