Just picked these up from a fellow pelican!!!! Its one of the last pieces to my 83 sc widebody conversion. Just wondering if anyone has a line on the front tubro rubber chin around the valence.

I have a friend who is looking some that look just like those, what size are they , Do you mind tell us how much you paid for them?

[SWoolley]

the wheels ar 17x10 rears and 17x9 fronts. wrapped in 315 40 rubber in rear and 255 40 in front. paid 2220 for them, probably had 2000 miles on them. i priced this Fikse wheel and Nitto tire package out and they would run you around 6k and up

Actually they are 17x11 rears.

oh yes my mistake!! The wheels are mint. Thanks for all your help Doug. Heading to the shop this morning to test fit them. I will post pics

Let me know how they fit.
From memory, I may have had the smallest of spacers (1/8"?) on either the front or rear.
But they were not needed to clear the 930 calipers that are on my car.
Only to push the wheels/tires a smidge out a bit to fill up the wheelwells better.
Also as I told your Dad, I am not sure if your stock aluminum closed end lug nuts will work?
They should.
The rounded profile that contacts the wheel is correct.
I.e Fikse doesn't require a custom or special lug nut per se.
I used steel open ended nuts...mainly because I have longer than stock studs.

Didnt have time to fit them today but he will in the next few. I will let you know how they fit.

I would have needed some big spacers

I have a the rubber turbo chin piece with the Porsche logo on it. It has a few scuffs on it but in pretty nice shape. I do not have the metal valance that went with it. $150 plus actual shipping.

Nice wheels. I need to start figuring out what offset and backspace to use on my widebody SC also... Let us know how they fit, and if you can get the dimensions that would be great..
