930 vs 911 suspension
I just got the turbo flares welded onto my 82 SC. Without the engine and trans in the car, and with the stock suspension, the tires (11" Forgelines w/ 315s) are about an 1 1/2" - 1 3/4" too wide. There are no spacers on the car.
These rims/tires were sold to me with the assurance they were desgined for a widebody 911. I'm wondering if the 930 suspension is narrower than the SC suspension and that's what these rims are intended for. Anyone have any insight? Thanks- Craig Backer |

My understanding is that 930 trailing arms have different mounting points. Sure expepts will chime in

I don't know much about the Turbo, but it only had 9" rear wheels as standard and the trailing arms are different. It also used spacers, so there are lots of variables to check here. I think this has been discussed before so try a search.

the front hubs are an inch wider the rear has different pick up points (improved geometry) But thats all I know about the rear aside from most came with 8 rear wheels and the later came with 9 inch such as your 930

I think the 930 is actually wider than a 911. I have a set of kinesis 18x11s that came off a 930 w/o using the rear spacer (stock 930s have a 1" rear spacer). I need a 1" spacer to make it fit by 83SC w/ flares (which makes me believe others claims that w/o any spacers - the 911 is narrower than a 930).
If you have something that doesn't fit w/ an SC hub, then I don't think it will fit anything (930, 964, 993, 996 & 997 are all wider). Try to measure the backspacing - that will be the definitive answer. I suspect its way too low. SMD
