rear wheels deep dish
so i bought the 993 rear flares HERE
and i was sizing it up on some wheels i have, i need like a 9-9.5" wheel with zero backspacing. what are some inexpensive options i have without going with rediculous spacers. i am not opposed to using adapters to use whatever wheels i can find. anyone have any ideas? |

It would be better to use ridiculously-wide spacers than ridiculously-wide adapters.
That said, I'm confused as to why you would spend money on flares that wide and then install wheels that would have fit under SC flares. You're going to pay a pretty big aero price, and stress your bearings more, for no gain.

Judging by the pictures, I'd think you'd want to run 10's in the front and 12's or 13's in the back. For those sizes with early offsets, you're probably going to want to get 3-piece wheels, in 17- or 18-inch diameters. You can get them with Fuchs centers from BBS, Lindsey Racing or Mirage. More-modern wheels won't have the same deep dish look, and you'll have to run massive spacers.
Figure around $2,500 to $3,000 for a set of wheels in those widths, unless you can find them used.
