You would need to run spacers. Being 18" you would probably have to roll the lips of the wings. The rears are 10" wide. I'm not sure if that's too much or not. Look here for more info.
BTW was that you that just lost out on those 930 calipers on Ebay? And Nick Moss, was that you that won that auction?

cheers chris.
yes, and i'm a bit pissed about it. i offered to buy them off line and they wouldnt agree the price, said they pull them if they didnt make £X's - so i waited for them to pull them. and waited. well they didnt - so they sold for less than i offered. not happy.

I bet they would fit just fine if you added Big Reds
. Actually, there's a guy in our local PCA who has these exact wheels with Big Reds on his '88 Carrera. It's a very cool car.

Congrats on your B'day and your new addition!
I think those wheels do look good on our type of cars. I've seen a few with black centres immitating the Fuchs look. I think you can get them in 17" which might give you less trouble.

so they will fit, but with spacers (they're less dished than fuchs), and maybe roll the fenders.

.......and the correct (very small walled) tyres. I'm not positive but the spacers will be about an inch on the front and 2 inches on the back......I think.

You could try E-mailing these guys about what spacers etc you would need.
