Heavy ?? Yes, but ...it makes up in other ways.

Actually the currently available RUF 17" classic wheels are now Forged aluminum.

Just got back from Luft 5. Put about 5,200 miles on them and my rear Toyo R888Rs are about ready to be replaced.

very nice... what size spacers are you running to get them flush like that?

P7s are being manufactured, but are frequently out of stock.

We just installed some Toyo T1R tires a client ordered for his 930, 225/55 and 245/50-16. They were good.

While the original design 15" P7's have been available thru Longstone, I've not seen the original design 16's.
For the 16’s, a revised design Pirelli Cinturato P7 is available in 205/55R16 (front) and 225/50R16 (rear) sizes. While the branding, V speed rating, and sizes are correct for the 1977 930 and early 3.3 930's, they are not the original OEM design. Tire Rack has them; https://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires.jsp?tireMake=Pirelli&tireModel=Cinturato+P7+%28H-+or+V-Speed+Rated%29&frontTire=055VR6CP7V2&rearTire=25VR6CP7&vehicleSearch=true&fromCompare1=yes&autoMake=Porsche&autoYear=1979&autoModel=930&autoModClar=#RatingsReviews

I have a set of Toyo T1R 225/50 and 245/45 -16 on my '86 930 and really like them.

Hi Jeff,
Do the 225/50"s rub or hit anywhere?
Thanks, Mark

Hi Mark sorry for the late reply. Pelican no longer lets me know there is a reply to post.
They do not rub or hit. They have a very smooth ride and grip very well. Hope this helps. Jeff
