Help with wheels

I have a 86 911 with the steel slant nose wide body. There is a guy on here selling 19 inch rh turbo p wheels 19/8.5 and 19/11 will they fit on my car? They came off a 2000 996 car. Thanks sure could use some help on this one.

Crap....thought you said help with 'heels'....I had a date and went shopping.....kill me now.

As to 19s......hmm, it's gonna screw with your ride height, shocks and torsion bar rates. Are you sure you wanna do that?

Tires are part of the suspension system. Skiiny rubber bands are not good on rims or your back.

I agree no 19's .. 17's don't look to bad and there are a lot of tire choices but makes the ride a bit harsher as I have to run 40 and 45 series tires ..

O and Joe Bob love the new chicken .. although the banana's are classic ..... for some reason I cant get an icon to load .. even had Wayne help so I am stuck with the white 911 in a snow storm for some reason ...

You just need to find an avatar that is within the limits of the website...or get Wayne to bump up the restrictions.....
