911 sc rear trailing arm options?
 
I have a 911sc (993widebody) with body parts from a 993tt.
Now i have to have 85mm spacers with my 996 11X18 et45 wheels to get the right track width.
I´m a bit conserned about my rear wheels bearings, and i want to find out what options i have.

Does the 930 trailing arms fit directly
Does the 964 Trailingarms fit ?
Is there any aftermarket trailing arms available?
Is there any "super" wheel bearings for the sc that can handle my wheel and spacers?

I'd suggest changing wheels to something with a very different offset.

Well if say i change my wheels to et-35 i´d need no spacers, but the pressure on the wheel bearing will still be the same :/

I will do that, but mostly to get rid of the weight of the big spacers, for better suspension and a lighter car. Second i want some nicer wheels :)

85mm? wow!

You might try talking to Chuck Moreland at Elephant Racing.

Lots of people has widebody conversion cars, it works.

You can get 930 trailing arms, but then you need to weld in some new inner pickup points to the torsion tube.

what about 75-77 930 trailing arms ? or are they the same? Seems like i´ll keep my sc trailing arms and just always keep spare wheel bearings :)

Thank you for answers

930 trailing arms would not be a direct replacement. The mounts on the torsion bar tube are in a different location and the geometry of the arms is designed to work with those different locations. You would need to change your torsion tube, or at least change the mounts.

You might talk to a bearing supplier to see of there are bearings with greater capacity that would fit in your trailing arms.
