Need feedback on wheel sizes-will these work on my Carrera?

These are widebody wheels, BBS 16's.....Will they work without crazy mods? They will be track wheels, so I'm not interested in having to change stud length for large spacers, as I'll need to be able to switch back to my street wheels. 1984 Carrera.

8x16 ET11
10x16 ET23

They problem is not the need for spacers...its just the opposite...the wheels with those offsets will stick out too far.

Try this link: http://members.rennlist.com/1976c38/index.html

If its any consolation the 8x16's will fit the rear easily.

The offsets seem backwards, If the 8 had a 23 it would fit and if the 10 had a 11 it would fit, with a little work.....

Cheers

I might be able to help. I have a set of BBS 7 & 8 x 16's with new SO3's on them. I need a set of wide body wheels for my 930. Maybe we can work a deal?
