911 wheel spacers, how wide??

I have a 74 911 which I'm converting to turbo body.

i have a set of 16's 8's & 9's turbo fuchs.

I need to know what size spacers for the front and rear.

Also what brand of spacers should i get?

cheers

Matt

I suspect you may need to wait until you get the turbo body conversion done then take measurements. It would be a shame to spend money on spacers and longer studs and then find you could have got it better.

Finish the bodywork, mount your wheels and measure how far you want them to come out.

Good advice to get the flares on and then check, but I think most folks going narrow to wide with narrow suspension and hubs end up with approx 1 inch front and 2 inch rear spacers. HTH.

Yup....1 and 2 inch is the norm. But I (also) would wait until the bodywork is done.....
