17" wheels to fit 1980SC

[rsrdave]

Hi Guys ,
I want to run fronts: 7 x17 ,Rears: 9 x 17 wheels and run 993 TT Calipers my 1980 911SC race car .In regards to Wheels ,what ET should be using bearing mind I will have to use Turbo Hubs on the fronts .
Could I run Cup1 or Cup2 wheels, cheers Dave

A couple of question first...

Why do you need turbo hubs on the front?

How about 8.0 on the front as it is a race car and it is an easy fit?

If you use the standard hub up front and an 8.0 wheel you need 25-31mm offset. On the rear your 9.0 wheel will require 15-19mm offset.

We have a set of new Fikse FM10 in stock..

Cheers

exactly!

I have 993RS brakes on my C3, the flat hats used on std 911 hubs is the easiest part of the install.

w/ a bbk you want to get as much tire, especially in front, as you can get.

Hi Jeff ,I thought I needed T/hubs on front but if I can use my standard hubs ,thats great .So to confirm I can run 8's on front and there is no problem clearing wheel arches . cheers dave

No problem with a properly specced set of 8.0 wheels up front. Use standard hubs and any of the readily available flat hat/rotor combos available.

We spec our 8.0 inch fronts at et30mm.

Let me know if I can help with wheels or brake purchases!

Cheers
