max rim size for 82 porsche 911 sc????

[supercarrera82]

I have been looking at post after post and i keep getting more confused, i was curious as to how large you can go, i was interested in 18" wheels for a narrow body, what offset along with max width can i go with front and back???? any one ever try this? Please let me know thanks

Here is mine with 17"s, the wheel didnt have the proper offset so I am running good spacers with no issues so far.

think 18"s would be close to the wells. I think there is an 80ish SC here with 18"s or 19"s

Get rid of those center caps and those wheels would look great.

Was gonna get a set of ROH's but found a set of BBS's a day before I was gonna pick up the ROH's.

18's will fit, but barely, you may have to make some suspension changes in order to fit the larger wheel.

Can you explain a little more detail into this area? What will be the problem and which part need to be changed?
Thanks.

ne one know the offest you would go with if you run 9's in the rear or even 10's in the rear if possible on 18" wheels????

I have 16" x 9's in the rear with 245/45 tires with no clearance issues running a 23mm offset, hope that helps.

Whether you have 15, 16, 17 or 18" wheels doesn't matter, they all need the same o/s.

In the front 8" o/s +23.3 to +31mm

In the back 10" o/s +15 to +20

The more you push the limits of width the less o/s tolerance and the more work needed to fender lips, oil lines and suspension components.

If I was you I would limit my search to 8" ~+26&#177 and 9" ~+15

What others have used can be found here

I run 8's and 9's on 18''s

18x8 front with 5.5" backspace (25mm offset)
18x9 rear with 5.5 backspace (13mm offset)

Trying to find a nice center for the ROHs, thought about a porsche center gel decal but havent found any...

Just get rid of them.. Look like a bigger dia. without the center caps.

With the caps off they look unkempt and ragged...
