Question, Turbo wheels on Non Turbo car

Is there anything I need to know or traps I need to watch out for as far as putting turbo fuchs on my 87 stock carrera, I have seen about 5 1980's 911's (non turbo) with the bigger wheels and could see no difference in offset or problems.

Thanks,

Jack

No problem. What width wheels? 7's and 9's?

No problems at all... here is my 1984 with 7s on the front and 8s on the back. I wasn't satisfied with how the rears looked so I added .5" spacers to boot. No fender rolling or any modifications to the body panels at all and I don't get any rubbing or negative side effects.

I'll be in the market to replace the rears with 9s when I recover (financially) from my other mini-911 projects.

8's and 9's here - 8's are from the 951



Minor fender rolling on the fronts - none on the rear.
