3.2 Carrera wheels upgrade

Chulo · 04-13-2006, 11:09 AM

What OEM wheels from later model 911s will fit on a Carrera? I want to get a second set of wheels for my '88, without spending the $$ for a new set of Fiske's. Thoughts?

All of the later wheels will fit WITH spacers but nothing OEM produced after 1989 will fit WITHOUT spacers.

Ben (Chulo),

How soon are you looking to get them?

Soon. I like the look of the stock Fuchs, but want to keep them in original condition (as they are). Also, I prefer the look of silver to black. Do you have some?

Jeremy,
The wheels are Garys as pretty much the entire body package too. Do you know of anyone over on the Gulf coast that might want to buy the slant. He built it and I rubbed it. No, that doesn't sound right but you know what I mean!! He also built my 924GT conversion. I had alot of fun getting those rear flares to blend in just right. Lots of Tylenol!!

If you like silver, rattle can some Fuchs.

What are you asking for it? Miles?

If you know Garys work than you know this conversion is right. Its also got a front mounted oil cooler from a 3.4 liter racecar and a ton of mods made to her when I bought the car. If you want a list I can e-mail it and alot of build/final pictures to you. I do want to sell her before I drive her as I've put about 100 miles on her in the past 6 months.
I'm looking for a Tiptronic because I had major ankle reconstruction last Dec. and driving a stick doesn't work real well now. But I will look at any and all offers.

Ted,
Those wheels look outstanding. Any clearance problems? What offset are they? How much is that setup anyway? I'm running 8x16 et23.3 front and 9x16 et15 rear. The fronts rub a little with ra1's; more rub on the left though.
I still have my original 6&7 Fuchs. Wonder if it would be better to sell them off or turn them into Lindsay as cores for p3's?

Lindsey needs 6" for the centers, IIRC. I am still saving.

Jt, I had to roll both front and rear fender lips so they wouldn't rub. the offsets are standard 6" fuch offset. The set cost me $2750.00. But I reduced the total by sending them six 6" fuches as cores. They give $150 credit for every 6" fuch you send. So my total came to $1850. They can only use 6" fuchs as cores so either sell the 7's you have or keep them as spares.
