bill, could you please sticky this swap meet post? thanks, jw

87 3.2 Carrera standard wheels were 6 ET36 & 7 ET23.3 x15
option 1 7 ET23.3 & 8 ET10.6 x15
option 2 6 ET36 & 7ET23.3 x16

other common after sales fitments are 7 ET23.3 & 8 ET10.6 x16 and 7 ET23.3 & 9 ET15 x16

what wheels are OEM for my 1987 Carrera (ie. 3.2)?

what offset are they? does offset make a difference?

do you get the pop up window that asks what file you want to upload?

if you get the pop up any error messages?

a common problem used to be spaces in the file names, don't know if that's still an issue or not

you can only loaf gif or jpg

Bill, I've been trying to upload some pictures to the 911 tech forum and it isn't working. I have tried to do it with Firefox and IE but no luck. I use Adblock Plus with Firefox but I have turned it off for Pelican. No problems posting, just pictures. Any recommendations?

It's a nice setup, w/ a possible issue.

The issue revolves about which caliper the rear is
there are 2 possibilities
1)tt w/ 28/28 pistons
or
2) RS w/ 30/36 pistons

the tt setup will be heavily front biased, this was a safety factor when used on an AWD, ABS equipped car

I have the RS set on both my cars and it's fantastic

Most people haven't a clue as to which is which, see if you can get the rear piston sizes from the seller, they will be printed on the spyders if they are still used or at least see if they are different sizes(this will be very obvious)

Hello Bill my name is Rich first let me say I have greatly enjoyed reading your posts on brakes and their balance. I have an 81 sc widebody with a 3.0 930 motor. I was wondering what you thought about this setup. Porsche 911 930 911TT Brake Conversion Kit with Adapters Calipers Rotors Pads | eBay

Those are 911 8 x15 Et10.6, they were oe for on the back of a 911SC or Carrera. I they are used on an ST fendered car you will need spacers in back, they should be fine in front
ST

STs used 8ET10.6 front and 9ET3 rear

Hi Bill, i have contacted you before as you clearly know your Porsche. I am building an st replica using an sc shell as my donor. Completion is still a long way off but I am already considering suitable wheels and off sets etc. I've seen a pair of 15x8s on eBay, they are original fuchs but images of the wheels show them fitted to a 944. I wondered whether they would be suitable for the front on my car. I want to achieve a race style stance and want to fill the arches without causing any interruption or rubbing. The wheel size and off set advertised is Porsche part 911 361 020 42. 5 stud pcd 130mm / et 10.6mm / centre bore 71.5. Really would appreciate your opinion before I start bidding. Regards sean
