porsche cup help on 1302 please
hi
im having a bit trouble with my porsche fitment wheels there 7.5 x 17",i was told before i bought the wheels 23et rear fits straight on and 52et fronts will fit with kerscher slimline struts although i might need a 10mm spacer. my mates doing the same set up with teledials so today hes fitting it all up and doesnt fit the way we thought rears seem ok at 23et but fronts ive got 20mm worth of spacers to miss the strut with the 52et wheel and there would be no way its gonna fit under the wing(fender) its sticking out say 25mm past,ive not got tyres fitted yet looked like 23et would fit on front with no spacer but again sticks out past wing,only way i can see a 52et fitting is by using around 25mm spacer, anyone help? whos running cup wheels and what ets? spacers? etc thanks |

TopLine, a US product, says one can achieve a 17x7 wheel with approximately a 55mm offset under a stock wing with their MaXX struts. It seems the extra half-inch wheel width with which you are dealing is the difference. The picture they have at their site shows little wiggle room.
I don't know if you can find a similar wheel with a slight change in offset and even if you can, what other implications may appear. Maybe there is a 17x7 option for the front if you want to stay with stock wings. I'm at a loss for other suggestions.

do you know the overall diameter of the Maxx struts? i thought they would be the same as the kerscher 1 but if maxx say a 7 et 55 will fit im not sure they are,if 7s fit under with maxx id say 1/2" sticking out the fender should be ok (i hope)but ive payed a lot of money for the wheels,tyres,kerschers and discs im a bit gutted at the mo
think ill start pm ing everyone running cup wheels |

I know I was as thorough as thorough can be but issues do come to the fore. It can be frustrating. There's no way to avoid it unless you are a total copycat or choose to avoid everything.
Suspension, brakes, wheels and tires were the elements of my first "phase." It is the one area I went the most over-budget. In the (near) end, I was 97% successful and found it 100% rewarding. Hang in there.
